Hope you all had a lovely day! Ours was brilliant, and the best thing? Everyone was well, not a cough or sniffle to be seen!
For the mince pies, I used a jar of the mincemeat that I had left over from last Christmas.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

What gorgeous mince pies you made, Nic.
Glad to know you had a wonderful Christmas :-)
Those are so cute! I can never get enough of mince tarts :)
No one has yet convinced me that mince pies are actually good for eating. Doesn't stop me from searching for one that IS, though..and I'd be willing to try that one. :p
Merry Christmas! :D
Yummo! Glad that you had a great Christmas! Much love, Raquel XO

Lovely!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS right back at you! :D
Glad to hear everyone was well and you all had a good Christmas Nic!
Merry Christmas, Nic, and a Happy New Year.
Our mince pies were a hit and miss affair, due to having been made by my dad. He over-filled them, stopping the flow of air and thus not cooking the bases properly. But all the other food was really great and there's a lot of weight to come off now!
Glad to hear you had such a good Christmas Nic. The mince pies look perfect and so festive.
well, we certainly didn't have any snow on the ground here in va, so i suppose i'm content to settle for powdered sugar on cookies. :)
hope your holidays are going well!
Merry Christmas to you dear Nic. How marvellous that there wasn't a sniffle in sight...YAY!! The mince pies look gorgeous.*SIGH*...silly to ask for left-overs? Hope the new year is full of joy, warmth & hapinss for you & yours Nic. xoxoxo
So nice to know you had a fun Holiday! Those pies look fabulous, I love the photo, it's very Christmas-y. :)
It has been a pleasure to get to know you over the past year or more Nic. I'm looking forward to all the exciting and innovative recipes coming from Cherrapeno's kitchen in 2009!!!!!
Nic, I've never had mincemeat pie, and what a shame that is, as yours looks amazing.
Glad to know your Christmas was as brilliant as you are.

What is vegetable suet?
Anon - vegetable suet is made from fat such as palm oil combined with rice flour. It resembles shredded beef suet, and is used as a vegetarian substitute in recipes, but with slightly different results from animal suet.
Suet is traditionally used in mince meat recipes.
More info on suet here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suet
