Do Supermarkets sell mince pies in June?

Answer 1

tesco seem to always have puff pastry mince pies all year round

Answer 2

That's funny you say that, mince pies, egg nog, fruitcakes and reasonably priced turkeys, way are they only available between the second week of November and the week after Xmas.

Now you can buy mincemeat pie filling all year long, but why is egg nog and fruitcake always a scarce commodity until November. The dairys and large bakery companys can produce them for a short period in the fall, most people who enjoy them would certainly consume them if they were available.

Answer 3

no but you could make your own
Holiday Mince Pie is a healthful new take on a grand old holiday classic. We think the Ghost of Christmas Past would approve.
INGREDIENTS

One unbaked pie crust of choice, enough dough for a bottom and a top
4 apples, cored and diced
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup apple juice
1 orange, scrubbed, juiced, and the peel grated (you will use both the juice and the grated peel)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Place all ingredients (except pie crust!) in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until apples begin to soften.

2. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust shell. Roll second piece of dough out and cut into strips 1/2” wide. Weave strips over top of pie to make a lattice crust. (You could omit this step and cut out decorative shapes from the dough instead, placing them around the top of the pie.)

3. Bake for 40 minutes, covering lightly with aluminum foil if crust starts to burn.

Serves 8.

Answer 4

Usually mince pies are only found in the stores around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Answer 5

Do you mean mincemeat as in the Christmas ones?
Our local somerfields has had them for about 3 months now, or if you cant find any why not make your own.
buy some frozen shortcrust pastry and a jar of mincmeat

Answer 6

I only see them from around Thanksgiving through the New Year, but there is a product call Nun-Such mincemeat, it is a pie filling, I think it comes in box. Roll your own crust or buy a prepared one.

Answer 7

I doubt it. Mince pies is a specialty product and you may need to try a specialty shop or bakery to get them.
