My Great Mince Pie Survey

Oh my word, how time flies, it's tasting time again.
 I've done this so many times now it has earned the label of traditions!


Tesco Rum & Raisin
very nice but not a huge taste of rum! 


Morrisons 
All butter pastry, mincemeat infused with brandy and cider and warming spices. Very nice but I couldn't detect the brandy or cider, but I liked it enough to have a second one!



Aldi shortcrust pastry, mincemeat and a light dusting of sugar.
Very tasty but the pastry is a little bit stodgy


Waitrose Brandy Buttercream Mince Pies
absolutely scrumptious. Four in the pack, I didn't share them!


Waitrose Brown Butter Mince Pies with Cognac, always my favourite


and extra delicious warm with a dollop of cream (mulled wine optional) 😊
I did share these.



Co-op Irresistible all butter fruit and apple mincemeat
with brandy and port - delicious



Aldi All Butter Mince Pies Infused with Cognac,
Ruby Port and Dry Cider - very delicious

∼ Be safe and well∼

  1. Oh, my mouth is watering! I haven't bought any mince tarts yet. I'd better get my skates on!

  4. I'm not a mince pie eater (not big on pies, in general), but those pies all look beautiful. I'm glad you enjoyed your favorites.

    Love,
    Janie
