Mince Pies
Historic Mincemeat Recipe
An annual opening of the Historic Cookbook…
Lemons, Nuts, Raisins, Mixed Spice,
An afternoon of chopping, slicing, grating and stirring...

Constance Hangs on to the spoon
Everyone takes a turn stirring the Pancheon.
Constance finds this more manageable
A small bowl of mincemeat for a small doll.
A satisfactory result
Constance can’t wait to share the little Mince Pie with her sisters.

Looks Wonderful!!! Time well spent, I’d say! Love that little pie! ☺
It begins to feel like Christmas when the mincemeat pies come out of the oven, Constance is always very willing to help! The little pie was the centrepiece of a Hitty feast!
I remember eating those mince pies in England one Christmas. I am going to see if I can print the recipe. They look delicious – Perfect for the Christmas Season.
If you can’t print it, I’ll happily scan it for you, just let me know.
Lucky Constance. If only the volume of mince meat I helped make was in the same proportions as it is to Hitty!
I think that would be about four refrigerators full of Mincemeat! Too much grating and chopping for me!
