This month’s offering is less of a recipe and more of an idea for your festive celebrations – although variations would be absolutely perfect for any buffet table throughout the year.
You will need:
Ready made Puff Pastry
Mincemeat – there are some deliciously flavoured varieties in the shops this year (or make your own)
Apple
Ground Cinnamon
Brown Sugar
What to do:
Roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle. (or buy ready rolled to skip this step)
For the Mincemeat Swirls:
Spoon your festive mincemeat all over the pastry – make sure you spread it right to the edges!
For the Apple Swirls:
Sprinkle the Brown Sugar and Ground Cinnamon generously over the pastry.
Grate the Apple over the pastry.
To assemble:
With the shorter side of the pastry facing you, roll up tightly pressing at the end to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, cut into 1cm slices and lay these down on a lined baking tray.
Bake at 180° for 15-20 minutes until a light golden brown.
As always I love a recipe that can be adapted to your family’s likes – what would you put in yours?
My son has suggested Turkey, Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce for a Savory Festive Treat! My daughter likes the idea of one with Raspberries, Blueberries and Custard.
Enjoy! xxx
