Now we are not going away I seem to be eating mince pies and Christmas chocolate all the time to compensate! I didn't make these and only bought six of them so hopefully the temptations will be finished soon.
Hi: I follow your blog to see your photos but also to get a little perspective of what is happening in your part of our world. Sorry the snow is keeping you from traveling. I do love your photos of it though...
Wonderful photo of your pies......cut them in quarters and treat yourself to one slice every 4 hrs. while awake. Nurse's orders! Sure way to make them last!
I love the detail with the sugar crystals and, well, they just look scrumptious! (It goes without saying, I can't wait to show to my S.O.) I guess if you have to face an aborted trip, you might as well indulge with mince pies (and get a few wonderful captures while you're at it!)
I've not had mince pies in years! These look fantastic - so pretty! My pies never turn out that pretty. There's always a burned spot around the edge :-)
These look delicious - no wonder you're tempted! I've just made a batch of mince pies, but it will probably be the last because its just too hot to be in the kitchen at the moment. I can't let Christmas go by without having at least one a day over the Christmas week! Yum.
What a shame you are not going away. I try not to eat all the festive food but instead of being hot here in Melbourne Australia it is cold and raining so I have been eating the mince pies. Charmaine

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome photo.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like that this much sugar can put you into baking spirit.:))
ReplyDeleteHugs.
I know the feeling. I can't stop eating them myself!
ReplyDeleteChocolate I can get behind, the pies I can skip - cookies however are killing me.
