Nikki, I served this at a little get together last week and there were several ladies hesitant to try them because of the name. My daughter informed me that she thinks the British have dropped the ‘meat’ part, so they are just called mince pies, which was probably a good marketing tool. Guess I need to modify the name and maybe more folks would try them.

Happy New year, Lynn

Your treats are not only yummy, but they are gorgeous bites, the item is so much more delectable because it’s gorgeous. I love the story of your friendship, it’s so nice that you have friends like this! How perfect. My gran used to make mincemeat pies, I could never wrap my head around the filling so I didn’t taste it, but now that I’m older I bet I would like it. Thank goodness my taste buds have developed!

Hi Mary, I absolutely agree that the best memories are made over food. Why is that? And thanks for your sweet words. They are so delicious and I bet they’d be equally delicious with fyllo dough. Maybe a good weekend cooking project for you and your daughter? I know that what my daughter and I will be doing this weekend.
BTW…started watching The Wire…like it! We are about 4 episodes in.
Have a great Friday and weekend!

Hi friend, thanks for your kind words. These little pies are really quite tasty and if you do see a jar in your store, I’d highly recommend you giving them a try. I know you spend time cooking with your friends at your cooking school…those memories are everlasting.
Chocolate…only good memories with chocolate. I think it’d be impossible to have bad ones.
Kisses and have a great Friday!

Lynn these are too adorable to be eaten! I just love those little stars on top. I have never made mincemeat tarts but they do look scrumptious. We use fyllo dough here in Greece for our pies. It is very flakey and soft. It’s wonderful when you have friends from other cultures and are able to share with them. And of course the best way to share is over food. Have a great weekend!

Lynn you are definitely a pro in the kitchen! These look so delicious and that little star on top is too cute! I’ve never tried Mince meat but I’m convinced I’ve seen that jar here in my local supermarket (that carries some foreign foods as well) . I will have to go find out! It sounds like you have such an amazing friend and beautiful memories! How fun it must have been baking together! My happiest memories I think are brought back with chocolate…lol. Any kind any time. But I also have lovely memories about my mom’s and grandmas christmas baking, and I just can’t seem to get it to turn out the way it used to be. Have a lovely Thursday! xO
