these smell *so good* when they're baking. they also heat the house quite nicely too as they bake in a fairly hot oven. check out how sizzly they were.
my pies didn't end up looking very pretty (let's be kind and call them "rustic".) but they are DELICIOUS! even with the weird green pieces that come in american mixed peel. they would be even tastier with vanilla ice cream. is that heretical? whatever, i live in the new world, right? ice cream it is!
relevant recipes: mincemeat, pies
edit: thanks to shed for the correction.

Yum - they look lovely! Odd isnt it that the fruit and peel mixture is called mincemeat but the pies are just called mince pies. I guess long ago they did have bits of chopped up meat in them but it got phased out over time and became more fruity.
Do you think the meat would have been pork? I'm going to guess pork.
