Richard Bertinet's exclusive mince pie recipe - BBC Maestro
When Richard Bertinet first arrived in the U.K., he hated mince pies. Too much pastry, too much filling, too sweet. So he developed his own recipe to create the perfect festive treat.
In this lesson, you’ll learn what techniques and helpful tools will help you achieve the best results as Richard guides you through how to avoid common mistakes. Starting off with the base pastry that he has been using since he was a 16-year-old bakery apprentice in France, going on to crafting the perfect frangipane and then the flavourful “mincemeat” filling, Richard breaks down each step simply, creating a hassle-free twist on this British classic.
Have a Joyeux Noël making Richard Bertinet’s mince pies, with just the right amount of French sophistication.

Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Homemade Mincemeat. This is what I call a vegetarian Homemade Mincemeat recipe as it does not contain beef suet. It is made with a variety of fresh, dried, and candied fruits that are all stewed in a delicious mixture of butter, apple juice, dark brown sugar, rum, brandy, orange zest and ground spices.
