Sous Chef
The title of my post seems banal. Having said that, every year I make a large number of mince pies at Christmas time so that I can give 12 each to my neighbours and friends (1 per month for the forthcoming year). In the UK this is an ancient but, sadly, a disapearing tradition that dates back to the 16th Century, and legend has it that doing that will give good health and good luck for the forthcoming year. So I make them all myself, including the pastry and the mincemeat, because legend has it that must be done that way. I can give them before Christmas and up to Twelfth Night, January 6th. After that the spell doesn't work!
