CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Last night I was invited to a friend's house with some other women for a meal and a baking session. We had a delicious meal and then began baking....mince pies!

It was the first time I had made mince pies since I was younger and helped my Mum make them. I thoroughly enjoyed making them and couldn't wait to bring them home to cook. The hostess had added almond essence to the pastry so I was excited to see how that turned out. 

Here they are ready to go into the oven. 

                          


I didn't manage to cook them until this evening as I was out all day but I was looking forward to a nice supper treat. They didn't disappoint! 

Here they are still warm from the oven. 

                         

And here is my supper treat complete with a coffee with pumpkin spice syrup in. Yum! 

                          

I think it's time I gave it a go at home myself and made a big batch. After all, Christmas is coming!
