Mince pies
A healthier twist on a classic Christmas time favourite. The pastry uses wholemeal flour which is higher in fibre. The "topless" crust lowers the fat and calorie content but it still has all the flavours of Christmas.

Recipe tips
  • For a citrus zing, try adding the grated zest of an orange or lemon to the mincemeat.
  • You can also add ground cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger in place of mixed spice. 
  • Freezing instructions: Defrost for 2 hours to serve, or defrost in the microwave or a moderate oven.
