could you soak in orange juice, and use brandy essence if you still want the brandy flavour?]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 10:05:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555904&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555904 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555840&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555840 Author: Konagirl

Hmmm, I have my mince soaking at the moment, from memory i've made a kg of the stuff, with a cup of brandy in it. Last year this made about 100 mince pies so wouldn't that mean there was about half a teaspoon of brandy in it before it was cooked? then they are cooked, then they sit around for a few days.
So, for me, if I had kids, it wouldn't bother me at all. ]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:36:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555840&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555840 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555746&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555746 Author: busymum

I think perhaps half, given that it would only be cooked for about 1/2 hour. Casseroles with alcohol in them cook off at the 2-3 hour mark.]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:44:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555746&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555746 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555743&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555743 Author: lizzle

This year will be my first gluten free Christmas and I am about to embark on a month of fruit mince pie baking so that I can get the recipe to perfection. Most fruit mince recipes contain brandy. Would you let your kids eat them? If I substituted with orange juice, would they still taste good?]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:02:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22830&PID=555690&title=christmas-mince-pies-question#555690
