Mince pie pastry

This morning I made my mince pies using orange sweet pastry recipe that I found online.You add grated orange rind and the juice of half an orange to the beaten egg before mixing.We have just sampled a pie with our coffee and the result is very pleasing.

Lemon essence would probably be even better as it would offset the sickly sweet mince.

I presume we are talking fruit mince!

Lol, yes fruit mince, we liked the orange flavour and I think maybe lemon rind rather than essence might work too.My mincemeat is not sickly sweet as I don't add any sugar to the recipe, I find that the fruit mixture is sweet enough without it.
