Mince Pie Slice recipe
Mince pie slices are something I would happily eat through the spring summer autumn winter. It's a shame I can only buy mincemeat through December! I've got used to buying a couple of extra jars at Christmas just so that I can enjoy all the festive flavours at the start of the new year too. I love the fruit, the mixed spice and the pastry and cake combination of this slice recipe. It's so moreish and one the whole family love.
