When it comes to sweet treats at Christmas, there's not a lot that will beat a mince pie.
For some of us, our parents make them so well that it's pointless even bothering to roll out the pastry and turn the oven on. However, if you're looking for a quick fix, heading to the supermarket and picking up a pack of six isn't a bad idea.
The only thing is, not all shop-bought mince pies are created equal. Some fall to pieces the moment you bite in, while others may be lacking in the sweet and sticky berries and winter spices that make them the perfect festive treat.
