Hi everyone!For the first time ever I am making some Christmas mince pies and I have a couple of quick questions for you gurus .

How long does a pack of pastry take to defrost!Overnight in the fridge!
How many days in advance can I make them before Christmas without them going stale!

I'm make truffles, fudge, etc and want to add some of these into the gift packs as well.

Many thanks!:)

You can make your mince pies anytime.They freeze and defrost perfectly.

Thanks kiwitrish, will remember that for next year (provided of course I don't have an absolute failure this year!LOL)

For this year though, I just need to know if I make them tomorrow (Friday) will they be okay till Tuesday!(2 days should be enough time for recipients to enjoy them .)

Cheers!
