Fortnum & Mason Mince Pies

Fortnum & Mason's box is a lovely colour of jade, but is it festive enough?Six traditional Christmas mince pies. Deep filled mince pies made to our long-established exclusive recipe with Fortnum & Mason Mincemeat. Chucky, evocative and appropriately moreish.

This is a monster of a pie, and certainly eye catching, but how does it taste?

Co-op Deep Filled Mince Pies

The photography shows of the pretty pies nicely.6 deep filled mince pies. Rich shortcrust pastry cases filled with mincemeat

Good, robust pastry, although the lid came off in my hand. However, if you enjoy adding clotted cream inside your mince pie then that is a strong design feature.

Asda Rich Fruit Mince Pies

This is a large box of pies, but how do they taste?

Lyons Deep Filled Mince Pies

<br />

18 deep filled mince pies, made with the finest fruits (catering pack)

6 Asda extra special, rich fruit brandy mince pies. Crumbly all-butter shortcrust pastry,crammed with rich, brandy-soaked vine fruits and sweet glacé cherries

They look almost perfect with their delicate snowflake embellishment only let down slightly by the pale in colour of the pastry. A good pie for those who like brandy or those who choose to warm their pies and eat with vanilla ice cream.
