Diabetic mincemeat

[Shazza41]

Hi wondering if someone could help. A few years back I found a recipe for diabetic mincemeat, of the Xmas variety. It included dried fruit, Apple juice and suet and you baked it in the oven. I can't find the recipe now. Has anyone got anything similar they can give me please? Thanks

Maybe not what your looking for, but anything with dried fruit in it doesn't sound good for keeping your blood glucose levels in check.

Hi,

I don't eat mince pies.. Never have.. I figure they may be about or there about 50g of carb per pie??? (Could be wrong? To keep life simple, I leave em alone.) But what I will do in the season of good will I tag a few who may know some sort of recipe ...?

Edit; @NoCrbs4Me , I nearly tagged you in for a laugh & blimey! There you is... No disrespect meant.

These are mince pies I made last year. Really nice and appreciated by non diabetics too. Merry Christmas

Wrong kind of meat! I did love a good mincemeat pie back in the day, though.

To be honest I'm partial to minced pork in a lettuce wrap...

Here's what my lovely wife made this week. OK not very low sugar or carbs but probably better than most shop bought ones. They certainly tested very much better!
Shells made with puff pastry but no 'lids' on the pies (that's cut carbs by at least 50% ! )
Filling - chopped dates, raisins, sultanas, apple, apricot. Teaspoon of mixed spice and juice of a tangerine. Two desert spoons of Stevia. (I added a splash of sherry, and it does add a certain je ne sais quoi )
The scent of them cooking was just fantastic as it percolated the house. I scoffed one just after it came out of the oven and another when they'd cooled, just to make sure they still tasted as good. And it did.
They may have pushed up my BG for a while, but a few hours later after dinner my BG wasn't showing a particularly elevated reading.
I think the moral here is - enjoy your mince pies but make small ones and limit yourself to just one or two and enjoy Christmas.

I'm going to have to try making those, those look pretty good.

Sound great and you do make a good point - everything in moderation. I wouldn't regularly eat mince pies but I do love them, I've got a recipe that says around 20g of carbs were pie - so I'll have one on Christmas Day, and one on Boxing Day! And my OH can eat the rest of the batch

How about making them how they used to be? Also known as Christmas Pie or mutton pie

Snap! That's the one I used this year. It worked very well. I got 12 mince pies out of it. I swapped out a couple of ingredients for half of them, using fresh apricots and hazelnuts. A tip, don't put a lid on them and save on another couple of carbs. When you've a dollop of brandy cream on them, who's going to notice?
