Free From Mince Pies

Yeah! It’s Christmas and that means mince pies. For years I made my own, but only Molly and I like them, and I also wanted to review store bought mince pies, so I gave up baking them as we had a glut year after year.  We’ve taken a look at gluten free, vegan mince pies. Most gluten free products have eggs in them, which we really can’t have at all due to severe allergies.

I’m really disappointed that both Asda and Tescos gluten free mince pies have egg. I can’t tell you if they are any good, as we couldn’t test them.  I went to our large, newish Holland & Barrett and couldn’t find any mince pies. Seems they are concentrating on beauty products, rather than food in the Christmas section.

So we were a bit bereft of choices, thank goodness for Sainsbury’s and Waitrose who’s gluten free mince pies don’t have egg.  So vegan, and gluten free.  Sainsbury’s has the widest range to choose from – ice topped, large open with a star, and traditional. Waitrose have the large with a star, and closed as well.  You can see from the photo that the pies all look very similar.

The Sainsbury’s pastry is slightly darker than the Waitrose pies where the pastry is quite light. Both fillings are lovely, and frankly very similar in taste.  It seems they are aiming for the same market.

Overall, our favourite is the Sainsbury’s range as we prefer the pastry. The iced mince pies are just too sweet for my taste, the traditional topped pies are lovely, good amount of filling and a crumbly lovely pastry. For sure the Waitrose ones are worth buying if your a Waitrose shopper, but Sainsbury’s have a wider range, and we think a slightly superior mince pie.

You can order on line here:

Sainsbury’s.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
