4. Waitrose Christmas 6 Shortcrust mince pies
We went to see my parents over the weekend, and they served us some Waitrose mince pies to try. They were a good size, with a pretty eight pointed star and a nice crunch of sugar on top. They were well filled and the mincemeat was very tasty. There was a nice fresh taste and the mixed peel certainly came through which cut through the sweetness of the other ingredients, however it was still a very sweet mincemeat. The pastry was indeed short and crumbly and the butter definitely came through which made a very nice tasting mince pie. Although not part of the taste test I loved the design on the packaging as it was so different and really stood out from other designs that we have seen. It would definitely make me stop for a second look if I saw it on the shelf.
