I haven't made them the past couple of years but when I did they didn't take that long. I soaked the dry fruit in cold mulled wine overnight, the ready made variety you pick up at the shops (I was told cold tea is usual, but I like it in the wine) I made a Jamie Oliver sweet short crust pastry ( Shortcrust pastry recipe | Jamie Oliver recipes )lined the tart tins and blind baked, added the moist fruit, put on the top and back in the oven, when they are out sprinkle on some icing sugar, delicious.I had Christmas music on this morning until my son begged me to turn it off
You ladies are always posting about mince pies and gave me cravings and I had to order them lol. Haven't had mince meat pie in so long though, my grandma always made it when I was a child. Do any of you make it yourself and have an easy recipe? I know it takes a long time
Thank you
It's been years since I've had an advent calender!
