Iced Mince Pies. These Christmas tarts are mince pies with a twist - a nutty frangipane filling replaces some of the traditional mincemeat and they're topped with a lovely looking icing. The syrupy-sweet filling of these mince pies is infused with port and brandy and there's a gentle tartness from the mixed peel and a pleasingly buttery aroma from the pastry. Thinly roll out the pastry on a floured surface.
Mince pies are delicious served hot or cold, on their own or with brandy butter, or with cream or even a good vanilla ice cream. Mince pies will keep well if placed in an airtight tin for up to seven days. Sometimes they benefit from a gentle warming in the oven before serving.
