Decorated trees, snow men, mince pies - there are some things that just define Christmas. But how is it that a meaty pudding from the Middle Ages has come to play such a central role in our modern Christmas celebrations? Let’s explore the history of mince pies – maybe while biting into a freshly warmed Walkers mince pie of your own? Mince pies throughout history The reason mincemeat is called meat is because that’s exactly what it used to be: most often mutton, but also beef, rabbit, pork or game. Mince pies were first served in the early middle ages, and the pies were quite sizeable, filled with a mixture of finely minced meat, chopped up fruit and a preserving liquid. Mincemeat originally came about as a good way of preserving meat, without salting, curing, smoking or drying it. Whether eaten cold or heated up and enjoyed with cream, custard or brandy butter, Walkers Luxury Mincemeat Pies will form an integral part of your Christmas celebrations. If you prefer, you can defrost overnight. Instead of leaving them out at room temperature, place them on a plate in the fridge and allow them to defrost overnight. Can You Refreeze Mince Pies?The same applies to icing sugar. When you freeze a mince pie that has been dusted with icing sugar, you’ll find the icing sugar disappears so you’ll need to reapply a fresh sprinkling when you defrost them. 3 Tips for Freezing Mince Pies Once thawed, you can warm them through in a warm oven if they’re already cooked. If they’re uncooked then brush with beaten egg and bake for the same time as you normally would following your favourite recipe. These are my hubby's favorite! Delicious flavour, and always arrive fresh. He likes he just warmed a little and nothing on the side. There is nothing like a delicious Glenfiddich Mince Pie that's drenched in Birds Custard! These are most definitely an essential holiday treat: We stopped by the Walkers Headquarters on our last trip to Scotland preCOVID partly because we love all their products and partly because their Headquarters used to be my old boarding school......the staff were ever so lovely and welcoming if you ever get a chance to visit you should stop by!

Skip the suet for vegetarians—The filling for mince pies typically usessuet,which is an animal fat. If you don't eat meat, look for a vegetarian version or makeyour own mincemeatusing an alternative fat such as cold butter or shortening. Walkers produce is never all that cheap, but their quality is always so high that you don't mind paying a little extra. These are good sized mince pies, made with beautifully buttery pastry with that melt in the mouth texture, and the filling is really fruity. The combination of the two - just superb. The only thing I would suggest is to look at the box of 9 pies too. They are 'mini', but not really. They are a nice size. Make Your Mince Pies: Prepare them by following your favourite recipe. But obviously stop before you get to baking them. You can make them in your usual baking pan as you normally would using your favourite mincemeat. If you are a fan of the mince pies that have a layer of icing on top instead of pastry then there is good news. You can freeze these too. Just be careful because they might not be quite as nice frozen as they were fresh.
