"Pa rum pa pa pum..."

'Tis the season to be merry and this season normally starts with us making Christmas mince pies - these are the only ones I eat. I also make some stuffed just with jam for Mike cause he is not a fan of the "mince"....
The pastry recipe is an old family recipe, not my family recipe BUT I have adopted it!

Aunty Lyn and I managed to make 24 dozen mince pies....  some for me, some for mom, some for her and many she gives as presents. And so the Christmas season begins for me...
