MINCE PIES • CAUTION
Take care not to overheat mince pies otherwise
burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar
content of the filling. Check the temperature of the
filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch,
the filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry
through.
