I usually never bake Christmas puddings or cakes anymore, nor make fruit mince pies. But this year I thought I’d make paleo mince pies for my husband. I avoid the commercial ones like the plaque due to the toxins – ugh. But I decided to try for a healthier recipe and my GOSH it was delicious. I looked at the Christmas mincemeat in the jars on the shelves and almost swooned in the supermarket aisles from the junk they put in there and I thought I just CAN’T do this! Same thing with the pastry! Have you read the ingredients? Apart from flour, the next ingredient was margarine, then came soya, hydrogenated palm oil and a list of things I didn’t have time to read. I dropped them back in the supermarket freezer like hot potatoes. So I had to make my own!
