Heston from Waitrose Spiced shortcrust mince pies.

These are seriously delicious!
 
As part of the Heston range from Waitrose, you can now buy shortcrust mince pies.
These are mince pies with a twist.  The shortcrust pastry is a lovely  dark golden brown colour, and has just a hint of crunchiness.  I can also taste a strong hint of ginger and nutmeg in the crunch.  The generous portion of mincemeat filing has a delicate aroma about it, and again I can taste the addition of ginger.
 
Across the top of each pie you have a lattice pattern made out of more of the delicious pastry, with some toasted almonds.
 
The pies taste wonderful whether eaten hot or cold.  Personally I recommend heating them for about 10 to 15 minutes at about 150 degrees.  Serve them with a dash of cream.
 
My score out of 5
 
Would be 5, lovely!  Buy, eat and enjoy!
