348/365 Mince Pies

A mince pie is a sweet pie of British origin, filled with a mixture of dried fruits and spices called "mincemeat", that is traditionally served during the Christmas season in many English speaking countries and, in parts of the United States Its ingredients are traceable to the 13th century, when returning European crusaders brought with them Middle Eastern recipes containing meats, fruits, and spices.

 

I am happy to enjoy them at any time of year. Shame I don't have any Cornish clotted cream.
