Heston from Waitrose, Spiced Mince Pies with A Lemon Twist

Product Information

Unfortunately, Covid had other plans for us this year, but if there’s one thing you can rely on to bring you that Christmas cheer it’s a mince pie. The supermarket suggests setting on your festive cheeseboard and it would work well for this but not in the place of a mince pie. This proved the perfect vessel for the subtly spiced, super sweet vine fruit, and won’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out. Appearance - By far the biggest of the mince pies and they’ve been bold in going for a tree on top, rather than the star. Tempting turkeys, stunning centrepieces, dreamy desserts and all the trimmings – what will you choose?
