It's Beginning to Taste a Lot Like Christmas 1.
How wonderfully civil; fruit mince pies waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree.
I make fruit mince pies each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year is a record with 178 individual mince pies, each made by hand using a sweet shortcrust pastry recipe more than a century old, to which I add a spoonful of love for everyone who receives them.
Merry Christmas and bon appétit!
