Can you send me one for christmas? Sounds perfect!
Can you send me one for christmas? Sounds perfect!I discovered this last year in the nearest posh garden centre - and loved it.
Found it again today in Morrisons, and bought 5.
I heartily recommend it to those who crave the usual mince pies.
yes, it has dried fruit and a little gluten and some carbs.
but it is significantly lower carb than a standard mp, and IMHO it is nicer.

Not yet. I have a Xmas dinner to cook with a few of us low carb/ keto so will try it then.@Hotpepper20000 did you try the stuffing? I tried a different recipe, adapted from this: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3056/sausage-sage-and-onion-stuffing
I ditched the apple and used 6 Waitrose 1 free range Cumberland sausages, with skins removed, half an onion diced and fried in 25g butter, a 35g bag of the real pork crackling co golden pork crunch and a 40g bag of Awfully Posh pork crackling blitzed into crumbs and some dried sage. Fry onions, leave to cool. Mix everything else together and then add the onions and thoroughly combine. Fill a 1lb loaf tin and bake on gas 4-5 for 40 minutes. Pretty delicious. A definite keeper.

Oh great! I’d forgotten you’d made a lc stuffing. This sounds perfect.
Why did you use 2 types of pork crackling, were they just what you had to hand or would it make a difference?
I had a theory that the pork crunch might act more like bread as it’s a bit drier than the Awfully Posh, but not sure it’d make a big difference. So long as you don’t over blitz the Awfully Posh it doesn’t get too wet so I’d happily work with just that. The stuffing really is delicious. Making it for lunch on Saturday when I get to my Dad’s.
Ah right! I know that some brands are more like Quavers and some have more of the soft fatty stuff in them, so a mixture sounds like a good plan. I wonder if it’d freeze well, have you tried? I like to get a lot of the prep done in advance.
Hmmm. I think I'll have chistmas at your place this year, especially if himself is willing to part with a small bit of his duck fat roasties!I am going to dream of all the lovely food I can eat all night! I am definitely going to try some of these especially dessert ideas. We are having rack of lamb again this year with a reduced Rioja, butter and red currant sauce, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese and for himself Waitrose duck fat roasties. I've still got a week to decide which dessert to try.
Thank you everyone especially Brunneria for bumping the thread
I'm sure he would share he has a big bag of them in the freezer!Hmmm. I think I'll have chistmas at your place this year, especially if himself is willing to part with a small bit of his duck fat roasties!
As an owner of a passed dog with fireworks stress, I would say leave it until they are over. Sitting on the loo and suddenly finding a dog in your lap ai'nt fun. Anyway, it is up to you, I am off to @Brunneria's.
