The truth is, it will probably take longer to write up this recipe than it did to make it. I know you are probably looking at the photos, thinking how unpretty they are but they are emergency mince pies, remember. Its how they taste and quite frankly, they tasted great!
Perfect for if you get a call letting you know unexpected visitors are on their way and much tastier than traditional shop bought mince pies.
I used almost a full jar of mincemeat for these – you could probably get away with using just 1/2 a jar if you are wanting to be more frugal.

DIRECTIONS
fab, simple recipe. I love a bit of marzipan so this sounds right up my street!
I love this fab and simple recipe, I think I’ll give making these a go! #sharefriday
What a fabulous recipe. I’ve just potted up my mincemeat and I’m off to a party on Sunday, so I think a plateful of these are in order.
Well I think they look rather wonderful and I’m drooling over them!
These look great, I love a quick little recipe that looks good and takes no time at all.
They looks so good! I’ve actually got all of the ingredients in to make these so may give them a whirl… they’ll look so pretty splayed out with coffee for Christmas visitors xXx
Oh my word, these look heavenly! #ToyGiveaway
These look lovely! I’m a mince pie novice as I always hated them as a child but these days I’ve definitely acquired a taste for them! Perfect for Christmas x
I love marzipan and this is a great way to use up a jar of leftover mincemeat – or even buy one for!
Ok, so, I’m meant to be replying to your email but instead I have got sucked in to reading your blog. These look AMAZING! And just 20 mins? I think I may have a jar of mincemeat in the cupboard too! YUMMY! x
I have made these a couple of times now. I used the 12 X 12 inch puff sheets, bit thin but they tasted great, so second time I used two sheets fruit mince pastry sheet then grated marzipan and zest ontop and rolled together in shape. Next time now that I’ve kinda have mastered making my own puff it can rolled to the best thickness…
Hi Lindi, thanks so much for your feedback. I’m super impressed that you have made your own puff – On my list to do but not quite got round to yet!
What is marzipan
It is almond paste (used to cover fruit cakes mainly). The most glorious thing ever!
I made these and they are delicious. I froze some and they tasted just as good eaten cold after they thawed. They store well in the refrigerator as well.
So simple and tasty
