Mince pies 2.5 syns each and so scrummy!!

Did you know a single Mr Kipling mincepie is 18 syns!!! Only allowed 15 or less a day, to keep to plan.
I was shock when i found this out because i love them and knew i had to find a way to eat them and still loose weight!!
So thinking cap on and with a little help from a good friend we came up with this recipe.
They also freeze well aswell..

I got 36 out this recipe so worked out 2.5 syns each

Mincepies part deux

10 oz of flour (one oz is for rolling)

2 oz of low fat margarine
enough fromage frais to make it pastry consistency
a tablespoon of sweetner

and filling was 9 tablespoons of mincemeat
400 grams cooked apple finely shredded i add it grated and it cooks in pie
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 grated carrots medium sized and fine grater
a tablespoon sweetner and some mixed spice to taste


7 1/2 syns for apple (as apple is cooked it is no longer free)
11 syns for margarine
45 syns for flour
18 syns for mincemeat

delicious !!!!

Mmmmm Must try some of those ideas. I am going to make some BAD pies today for the OT Christmas lunch tomorrow (there goes any chance of a good week!) Of course, next week is the evening meal out.....oh help!
I have weigh in tonight.....I hope it is better than last week!
BTW make sure you are in contact with an OT. They could help make your bad days a bit easier by thoughtful provision of gadgets.
