Effortlessly create a gourmet mince pie sharer with a modern twist using store-bought mincemeat and pastry for quick and easy prep, giving you more time to enjoy the baking process.
Ingredients:
  • 20 g dried fruit, such as cranberries, blueberries or apricots
  • 250 g good-quality mincemeat
  • 2 clementines
  • plain flour for dusting
  • ½ a 250 g block of puff pastry
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 30 g nuts, such as almonds or pistachios
  • icing sugar for dusting
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400ºF/gas 6, line a large baking tray with baking paper. 2. Roughly chop the dried fruit and combine it with the mincemeat and clementine zest in a large mixing bowl. 3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface into a 20cm x 40cm rectangle of the thickness of a pound coin. 4. Spread the mincemeat over the pastry and roll it into a tight roll, starting from the longer edge. 5. Seal the top edge with beaten egg and slice the roll into 18 pinwheels. 6. Arrange the pinwheels on the lined baking tray to form a Christmas tree shape, starting with one at the top and gradually adding more in rows. 7. Brush the pinwheels with beaten egg, sprinkle chopped nuts on top, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. 8. Allow to cool, then dust with icing sugar before serving.
