Citrus Cranberry and Almond Mince Pies came about because I wanted to combine the taste of citrus with tart flavour of the cranberry. The crust is gluten free and contrasts with the richer flavours of the filling.

Instructions

1. In a large ceramic or wooden bowl place all the mince pie ingredients together. Combine well and cover with a cloth. Leave overnight or a couple of days. Typically, you would place in sterilised jars with the cap on top to let the fruit ferment for about a month.

3. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 180 degrees Celsius.
4. Flour your surface before rolling the dough and shaping it for your tart tins. Fold the dough into the space.
5. Spoon the mince pie mixture into the tins.
6. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until the crust turns into a light golden colour.
7. Remove from heat and set to one side.
8. Garnish with lemon and orange peel.
