Blimey! Talk about alcohol in mince pies! Hubs put whisky in these as I don't drink brandy (don't drink whisky for that matter come to that) oh well, suffice to say that these whisky fuelled filled mince pies are the best home made pies I have ever tasted bar none, and no I'm not just saying that because he made them - they are really that nice. I helped as well by coming over all arty and making square bases for the pies; then just putting some of the homemade filling on them and lightly dusting with icing sugar at the end. Hubs went for the more traditional little pie shape - awww. Both lots were totally scrummy and needless to say like there are only a couple left. Well, didn't really want my roast lamb dinner tonight! Yes, we did use 'proper' whisky, yep, the famous one! Not the usual paint stripper variety we seem to have had in previous pies in previous years. As ever, doggie is occupying the front row seats between the kitchen and dining room ever hopeful as always but he really couldn't cope with whisky ... sleeps enough as it is.
Then hubs, proud as a peacock with his endeavours (I'm surprised I can spell that right after having whisky fuelled filled mince pies) pipes up: 'First time I've ever made mince pies' to which I reply: 'So you've made we wait 13 years for this, while greedily shovelling shop bought down your neck knowing I can't have shop bought because of the apples and other assorted crud that goes into prepackaged food these days.' He went ... oh, er, yeah. He is priceless isn't he? No really, I mean I couldn't give him away!!!
