The festive season wouldn't be complete without the prototypical Christmas treat, the mince pie. That's why we created a Fruity Pear Mince to make with the aid of a Thermomix, that will uplift your Christmas baking. Better than any scented candle, when baked, this mix will turn your kitchen into Santa's workshop, filled with the familiar fragrance of festivities. Alternatively, pot these and gift them as unique presents for those who love to cook, or need a nudge in the right direction.
