My mum makes these ones - I don't have the patience for filo so I'm making a variation of Nigella's mince pies by adding dried and frozen cranberries to my fruit mince with some grated orange rind, orange juice and brandy instead of the usual apple.

I still have some fruit mince left over from the stuff i made last xmas.it has been in a plastic container in my fridge for a year. Would it be ok to use still! It has a lot of brandy in it from memory. tia

Oh I think those are the truffles I made a couple of years ago - they are delicious.I made them for a shared morning tea at work and they all disappeared which was good because my family aren't particularly truffle lovers

Those mince pies sure looked - and sounded- pretty damn good!

Except for the one with the peppercorns on it!Jamie was laughing so hard at his joke that he almost choked ;)

Edited to add:For those who didn't watch, the Italian guest/chef alongside him insisted that mince pies should have a grind of black pepper on them but Jamie resisted, putting pepper (a whole lot!) on one only for his friend ;)
