    My homemade dairy free/gluten free mince pies :) I made these last night - they don't look the best but they taste delicious. I've already had two today! Ooops!

    Thanks @66Mustang :) 

    They are very tasty. Do you like mince pies?

    Yes I do :smiley:

    We have a large batch of home made ones every year so we have a good supply of them, however we only seem to have 8 left this year and it hasn’t even been Christmas Day yet!!

    A lot were given away this year to be fair, as we haven’t properly met up with certain people so we gave them mince pies instead.

    @66Mustang it's nice that you make homemade mince pies too :) I wish I could justify eating them all year round, but I think that's what makes it so exciting when just eating them at Christmas. Mince pies as gifts is a brilliant idea :) do you have a secret recipe or follow one online etc?

    @Grinchy - thank you! I very much enjoyed making them and also eating them :D. You can't beat one with a coffee/tea :)

    Thought I'd share my Christmas Tree, the felt cat sits rather nicely in it, even if he does look a bit grumpy  :D

    @Ookpik Wow! They look fantastic. I really like them all but I especially like the penguin - how cute! Haha, I do love a pie myself too. Why are they so easy to eat?!!

    @66Mustang aw that's lovely and I can imagine the recipe is a great one too. All of the best recipes in my household have been passed down from generation to generation! :)
