If you’ve already been to our recipes page then you’ll know we’re fans of Billington’s website. They’ve got tasty ideas on accompaniments to go with your mince pie. The only problem (if you’re not as good behind an apron as you are behind a napkin) is that you’re intended to make these yourself!
They’ve got great recipes for Brandy Butter, Butterscotch Rum Sauce & Spiced Orange Rum Butter
BillingtonsSome Like It Hot
Buy some reeeeeeeeally rich creamy cornish ice-cream, and have a two pert little scoops nestling into your steaming hot pie. Yum. Don’t make any foolhardy errors here though folks, the ice cream has to be vanilla I’m afraid, that is, unless, you’re trying to disguise the taste of some inferior pie!

Alternatively, just put a great big gloopy dollop of clotted cream or extra thick double cream on the side.
Don’t forget to warn your guests about the heat in those pies though!
