What's in a mince pie?

A mince pie company wants to improve their festive mince pie recipe and to do this they need to know what their competitors have in their mixtures that make them taste so good.

Children are tasked with separating, grouping and identifying the ingredients in mince pies to find out what makes the perfect pie. A recipe is also provided for making your own mince pies.
