DIY: CBD Mince Pies

What’s Christmas without mince pies? Infuse them with CBD this holiday season for a relaxing treat.

Ingredients

• 1 large jar mincemeat (about 600g)
• 2 satsumas, segmented
• 1 apple, finely chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Icing sugar for dusting

For the pastry:

• 375g plain flour
• 260g unsalted butter, softened
• 125g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
• 1 large egg, plus 1 beaten egg for glazing
• 1 pipette of Cibdol CBD Hemp Seed Oil

Method:

1. Place the flour and the butter in a bowl and rub together to form a crumb consistency.
2. Add the caster sugar, CBD oil and one large beaten egg and mix.
3. Flour a surface and pour the mixture out. Fold until the pastry comes together. Watch as to not over mix.
4. Wrap the pastry in cling film and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Pour the mincemeat into a bowl and add two segmented satsumas, one chopped apple and the lemon zest.
6. Pre heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas mark 7.
7. Roll out the pastry to 3mm thick.
8. Take a round cutter, around 10cm in diameter, and cut out 16 bases, placing them into muffin trays. Place around 1½ tbsp mincemeat mixture into each. Brush the edge of each pie with a small beaten egg.
9. Roll out the remaining pastry and cut 7cm lids and press them on top to seal. Glaze with a beaten egg. Sprinkle the tops with the extra caster sugar and make a small cut in the top.
10. Place the mince pies in the oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown. After baking, let them cool before removing them from the muffin trays. Dust with some icing sugar and serve.
