CHRISTMAS MINCEMEAT SWIRLS.
These are the easiest of all mince pies to make - and SO yummy.
Ingredients...
1 jar of mincemeat
1 packet of readymade, ready rolled puff pastry
some icing sugar
Method...
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees or Gas mark 6. Grease a baking tray or line it with baking parchment.
Un-roll the puff pastry and lay it flat. Spread out the mincemeat in an even layer over the pastry. Roll up the pastry again and slice into 1 cm slices. Lay the slices flat onto the baking tray (they do spread slightly so don't lay them close together).
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. When golden, take from the oven and leave to cool slightly. Mix the icing sugar with a small amount of water until runny (but still quick thick). Dribble over the swirls.
Makes 12-15 swirls.
TIPS... This is even yummier with homemade mincemeat but I don't know if the effort to make your own puff pastry here would be worth it. The ready rolled pastry really does work well here.
