The mincemeat is fantastic. It appears quite moist, but this compliments the slightly dry pas... ahh to hell with it... cake, really well. The mincemeat itself has just the right amount of citrus taste along with large whole vine fruits and just the right amounts of cinnamon and sugar. It is wonderful. However - and this is where it looses marks - it is inconsistent. We had a number of people try these mince pies in the office (we did have 11 of them after all!) and the amount of mincemeat varied greatly. If you look at the picture of the tray, you can see circles where the icing/cake appear to have sunk slightly. This is the mincemeat. On average, you get about a tablespoon full in the middle. For me, this is not quite enough as I like a good helping of the stuff and compared to the size of the pie, it could do with more. It could also do with spreading out as you could take a couple bites from this mince pie and not get to the mincemeat yet. If the cake wasn't so good too, this would be a completely different review. This is not a great start. A sheet of cardboard with 11 giant mince pies on top, wrapped all around with cling-film. There is nothing Christmas about that I'm afraid. I'm aware Costco is the place to go for buying in bulk to save loads of money, but if what you are selling doesn't look appealing, then why would anyone buy it? These have to be amazing mince pies to come so highly recommended. Appearance – The pies are plain and simple, but with an air of quality. Could do with a little more colour, but certainly not a major concern. As a side note, the box is very attractive with the Glenfiddich logo showing through.

Walkers – Glenfiddich Luxury Mince Pies – Mr Mince

This cakey mince pie was a nice change from the norm, but they need to get a little more consistent! p.s. wear a bib!" Tester 2 Bring the mixture together with your hands, wrap in clingfilm and chill for an hour or so. Thinly roll out the pastry on a floured surface. Cut out 12 circles with a fluted pastry cutter, large enough to fill the base of the prepared tin. Press gently into each hole, then fill with the mincemeat. Mince to Pastry ratio – Satisfactory – a little lower than I would like in a pie in this price range, but its no disaster zone.

Summary – WOW! It’s not quite perfect, but its as close as we have come on this epic quest so far! Definitely worth my Edinburgh Woollen Mill (yes really!) buyer going out of his way to find these. The price would put off some, but if you are looking for what must be one of best pies on the market it’s money well spent! for allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in Bold. May also contain nuts and egg.

Press the edges together to seal. Make a small slit in the top of each, then brush lightly with milk. Chill for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
