Steps to make Mince (fruit) Pies:

1. Chill pastry, if not already. Set aside 1/3 pastry for lids. Butter 2 x 12 cup cake tins.
2. Put all the mincemeat and cherries into a bowl. Tip over the Rum, mix well and leave to soak while you prepare the pastry.
3. Roll out 2/3 pastry, (for bases,) using the larger cutter cut out enough circles to fill two 12 cup cake tins. Press gently to fit.
4. Whisk the eggs in a cup. Use a pastry brush to coat all the insides and rims of the cases.
5. Spoon mince mix into the cups, making sure it’s not over the rims.
6. Using trimmings, plus the other 1/3 of pastry, roll out into a sheet. Cut 24 lids with smaller cutter. Use Star cutter in centre, or pierce with a fork.
7. Add lids to cups. Press down edges to seal. Baste with beaten egg.
8. Cook in medium hot oven for 15-25 minutes, turning once to brown evenly. Carefully prize out of the tins, (as the liquid sticks them in!), and put on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! Can be frozen up to 6 months.
