So every year as Thanksgiving approaches (or in this case has past) I begin to think about the delights this time of year holds, and how the period from Halloween through New Years is one of my favorite times of the year (aside from the return to studying and writing).
I may not always enjoy the colder weather, the damp and darkness, but I do enjoy unearthing my tweeds, baking spicy goodies, and there is definitely something to be said for long winter evenings...at home with a good book or movie, or out in the pub with an Irish coffee and good conversation. I fondly refer to this time of year as the "Eating Season". So in honor of the Eating Season (and also to minimize my time in writing this blog), I've decide to share a recipe for mince to go into mince pies*!
*For those of you unaware of the delights of mince pies, I'll put your mind at ease. Mince meat is just fruit, not really meat, and these spicy, delightful little pies are just the thing for the Holidays. So whip up some pastry dough and try out this yummy recipe for the filling!
