Sweet as pie: The great annual mince pie survey

OUR annual mince pie survey gets the biggest response from readers. This year we looked for pies with flavoursome pastry made with butter, not environmentally dubious oils, without odd flavours from additives for extra-long shelf life, and without sugar alternatives or over-sweet versions of sugar. We also looked for plump fruit with plenty of flavour.
