Cut out large circles that will fit comfortably in a mince pie tray, and enough lids to cover them. The kids should be fractionally larger than the top hole of your well.

Lightly oil each well. Place the larger circle into the well. Prick the base with a fork. Put a spoonful of mincemeat inside. Use your finger dipped in water to wet the edge of your lid. Then press the lid, wet side down onto your mince pie and press the edges gently to seal.

Repeat for the rest of the pies then bake at 190 C for 30 or so minutes.
