After blogging something a bit different yesterday with my take on an Alternative Christmas Pudding, today I'm going with something traditional: the humble mince pie. Shops have been flooded with them for what feels like months, and with so many different brands on offer picking the right one can be an absolute minefield. According to my family it takes a lot to beat Morrisons' lattice-topped or Marks and Spencer's deep-filled-all-butter, but a homemade mince pie is incomparable.
