The best gluten-free MINCE PIES
When these mince pies arrived at the office from Serena and Flo at the outstanding Pearl & Groove bakery, they lasted mere seconds, banishing all preconceptions of slightly dusty gluten-free products. Here, the pastry is beautifully made and laced with rum, then filled with just the right balance of mincemeat and frangipane. We had to get the recipe so you can try them too

“This recipe brings together all the fabulous flavours of Christmas, with a rum-laced pastry and an almond topping in place of the traditional lid. It’s a mix of textures and flavours that’s more delicious than a standard pie, and the fact that they’re gluten free is just a bonus – that’s what we believe, anyway!”
