I love mince pies but even I sometimes find the filling too rich. Many people don't like them at all. However I've found a recipe mod that makes the mix go further and makes the pies nicer. I dice up (quite finely) apples and oranges or other citrus to an equal volume of mincemeat, and mix with the mincemeat - then fill and bake as usual. The result is a lighter, slightly more moist mince pie which isn't as tongue-claggingly sweet or fatty.
Yum!

I do the same. I use apples and clementines. Gotta keep with the xmas theme.

Aye, you're a trooper.
Mrs Deeps has a rule that she's not allowed mince pies until December, seeing the thread I asked her if she fancied making some (she makes christmas cakes for friends and family amongst other stuff) but all it did was remind her that its the first and she doesn't have any mince pies in. Sod all to do with prepping but it amused me.
