Mince Pies - Part 1

Here is the fruit mince. All very delicious and ready to be put into pastry shells. If there were pastry shells.Would you believe that I have run out of unsalted butter?! Unheard of. There is ALWAYS unsalted butter in this household. We buy a few packets at a time and put them in the freezer. Then one day - they are used up. So, no butter to make the pastry.

Never mind. I'm sure I'll find my way to the shops some time this week. The mince will keep a day or two. Unless some two-legged mice get stuck into it. Better hide it.
