Discovered a flaw in my plan - I don't have anything suitable for cooking them in and the only cutters I have are my gingerbread men ones

Doh, I'm just jumping in at the deep end. Never even made pastry before and I'm more worried about that than the mincemeat.

Tastes like feet!

Pastry isn't hard to make. It doesn't like getting too hot though so use your finger tips rather than your hands when combining the ingredients.

Wot 'ee said. Put it in the fridge if it gets a bit warm.

Heh, i realised this the other night too, in the middle of the night. And a rolling pin.

Cheap pie trays are hard to get hold of too!

Make these instead:

They're gorgeous, nicer than normal mince pies IMO. You will need a rolling pin, but no need for a fancy tin

I love making mince pies but never tried making my own mincemeat.
I will be trying this sometime next year

Whoop, my mince pies turned out rather nice.
