Mince pies are *the* Christmas treat over here. I usually buy them in boxes of 6 from the supermarket but this year I cant have them because I have GD.

For those who don't know, mince pies are shortcrust pastry pies filled with "mincemeat", which is a mixture of currants, raisins, sugar, apples, candied peel, spices, and suet.

I'm attempting some low carb mince pies this week. I made my mincemeat today, with cranberries, walnuts, a few raisins, lemon and orange zest and sweetener. I'm going to try almond flour pastry too (wish me luck!!).

Do you like mince pies? Are they popular where you live?
