The British LOVE their mincemeat! It is as much of a holiday tradition as christmas trees and christmas cards. It is usually made sometime in November so that it can sit and marinate. Then by Christmas you can make your lovely mince pies! The mixture is diced apples, raisins, currants, sultanas, sugar, zest, lemon juice, nuts and a few other ingredients. After it has had it's marinating time, you can make them into the little mini pies and it is standard and pretty much mandated that they have a little star on top! Not really sure what they were supposed to taste like (seeing as I have never had one before!) But they were pretty good. Robert really enjoyed them and Evie Kaye thought they weren't bad but none of the other's liked them.
A little dusting of powdered sugar makes them look nice and taste nicer too!
