In contemporary mince pie production, traditional ingredients include dried fruit, nuts, and spices, but many recipes have removed suet, diverging from historical practices.
The rise in mince pie prices this year is attributed to soaring sultana costs due to severe weather conditions in major growing regions in Turkey.
Heavy rain in key sultana-growing areas has greatly affected production, leading to higher prices for mince pies; supermarkets like Tesco have seen significant increases.
This year's Christmas dinner cost also reflects a 6.5% rise due to similar weather-related harvest issues, emphasizing a broader economic impact.
