Nothing wrong with cheating- mince pies

Life got hectic with the end of uni term, Christmas preparation, re-designing my look, new job challenges and day-to-day housewife duties. And the, on top off all these, we had guests for few days. No time to bake and cook but I desperately wanted to make something nice to make them feel like at home.. Quick trip to the supermarket and I had an excellent idea ready! Almost-homemade mince pies! Ready made pastry and ready made mince meat. Actually two kinds of mince meat, one traditional, the other cranberry and port flavour. Both delicious.
I made a top part of my mini pies star-shaped and also sprinkled them with icing sugar. They looked very festive and proved to be a big hit as were gone within hours!
