Lifestyle / Additives Christmas without mince pies? No way! They are a tradition which I have passed on to my two daughters-in-law, one Italian and one American, and I just can't make them fast enough when the Christmas season comes around. Robertsons Mincemeat can't be beaten, not too sweet or too dry. I use it all year round, mixed with some stewed apple, to make large open mince tarts decorated with strips of pastry and they always go down a treat. All these years later I still make a wish on my first lovely mince pie. Christmas would not be the same without my Robertsons mince pies. It can be used as mince pie filling on its own, but as I don't like my mince pies very sweet I usually mix one jar of mincemeat, with one grated apple, some raisins, and a little cognac.

Robertsons Traditional Mince Meat also contains no artificial colours or flavours and is gluten free.

With Christmas being a busy time in the kitchen, this ready made mincemeat from Robertsons is ideal. It is very good quality with an excellent flavour without being over sweet. As well as using it for traditional mince pies, you can also be creative and make other Christmas treats including mincemeat puffs or rolls with puff pastry. A real essential in the run up to Christmas! This is a truly delicious mincemeat mixture with the right balance of fruit, spiciness and sweetness to satisfy even the most critical palate. I have found that many commercial mincemeats, as well as some homemade recipes, are just too dry and heavy, but Robertson's seems to have got everything just right. One jar enabled me to make 30 small twobite size mince pies so probably about 1520 standard sized ones.I will most definitely buy this product again, and thank you Robertson's for reminding me what proper mince pies should taste like! An essential ingredient in mince pies and Christmas cake, Robertsons Traditional Mince Meat contains a mouth-watering mixture of dried fruit and spices.

I cannot wait to make mince pies with this! They are best fresh on Christmas eve with some Christmas ham and other nibbles. I was worried I was going to make my own mincemeat with a concoction of weird mixes I could find here I can even find brandy here and the brand is a classic for mincemeat! As a child, my mum made many mince pies over the Christmas season and we had a long and happy tradition; when you took your first bite of your first mince pie each Christmas you got to make a wish. The product owes its name to the original mince meat recipe, where mixed fruit and spices were added to chopped meat. Despite retaining the label of mince meat, the modern version contains no meat, and is suitable for vegetarians.Obviously, it isn't truly Christmas without mince pies and if you don't feel like making your own, you can't beat Robertsons Mincemeat. It has an excellent flavour and just the right amount of fruit. In the unlikely event that you don't eat it all at once, it keeps very well. A real taste of my childhood! There are not many choices available in Estonia except Marks and Spencer selection. Robertson's mincemeat however beats all of them.

Most popular with customers in France, Italy, United States of America (USA), Greece, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Austria and Denmark, but you can buy Robertsons Classic Mincemeat for delivery worldwide. Christmas is all about tradition, and what would Christmas be without Robertson's mincemeat. The excellent quality of this product has stood the test of time.
