Spotted two jars of #mincemeat reduced to 37p each at Attleborough Co-Op yesterday so snapped them up and am #baking a trayful of these lush Mincemeat Crumble Bars ☺️

Perfect to ward off a rather miserably grey day!

My best results for #GlutenFree #baking lately involve:

* Using 1/2 Bob's GF Flour & 1/2 almond flour
* Adding an extra egg

This has worked very well for a carrot cake & a banana bread. The extra egg seems to balance out the lack of stickiness in the almond flour. 🙂

(Note: If you make carrot cake with rainbow carrots, you can decorate the icing with little shavings of the carrots - they look like flowers!)

Back at Christmas, I made gluten-free #vegetarian #ChristmasPudding (using shortening for the suet, and GF breadcrumbs and nut-flour), and #mincemeat pie with a sautéed mushroom & walnut substitution for the usual, actual meat in the filling and a GF crust (I used an Italian sweet crust recipe and added an egg so it didn't fall apart). I love making some aggressively non-vegetarian recipes from the early 19th century, but I have vegetarian friends, so I improvise! 😁

Shout-out to the #MasterAndCommander cookbook.😏

Another baking 'toot':

Ended up with too much filling for the Eccles cakes I made last week, so I put the remainder in the refrigerator. Here's what I did with it.

Mixed it with six peeled, cored and sliced apples, 1 1/2 Tbsp tapioca flour and 1 Tbsp wheat flour as the filling for this apple pie.

The Eccles cake filling has the flavour profile of mincemeat, so this is in essence an apple mincemeat pie. And it's good!

Here's Aunt Biddy's recipe. Tonight's tart was proportionally less meat, and definitely pork. It was surprisingly subtle! I was halfway through eating before I realized. There's something kind of Moroccan about the meat + fruit + spice combination. Delicious, but I'm also glad that I'm not a vegetarian who got blindsided by the meat. (I had just eaten a tourtiere from the same bakery, so I definitely signed up for meat!) #FoodHistory #recipe #mincemeat

Hot take: #Britain doesn't get enough credit for marvellous things like the #Scottish #Clootie #Dumping or the #English #Christmas #Pudding. #Mincemeat FTW.

How our #grandmothers (well, probably your great-grandmothers) made #mincemeat

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas #Mincemeat #MincePies #FestiveFood #HomeBaking

Mince pies made with the last jar of last year's mincemeat. Six jars of the 2022 vintage await.

I made mince pies using the mincemeat I made a couple of weeks ago #MincePies #Mincemeat #Christmas #Homebaking

Finished the art pies for tomorrow! There will be more pies being made, but these will be the only "fancy" pies! Mincemeat (snowflakes and stars) and apple (trees and turkeys). #baking #foodart #prettyfood #thanksgiving #mincemeat #pie

@Avoiceinthewilderness Make your own using year old #mincemeat and #PaulHollywood sweet #pastry #recipe. #mincepies ;)

I promise you, it tastes better than it looks! #mincemeat #mincepies #homebaking #christmas #deliasmith

Now it’s jarred!! #mincemeat

Made some #mincemeat It’s been a minute since the last batch but we’re clean out of it (used the last two year old batch for some mince pies last year) so desperately needed.

It’s on … #mincemeat #mincepies
