Savory good, a strong jolt of brandy, citron, and lemon zest combine with the suave scent of raisins and a secret addition of late summer pears. Put all of that in a flaky buttery crust and you have a divine mincemeat pie which is the perfect finish. This one carries strength and almost perfumy components with a soothing side to keep it from getting too sharp. It's a "grand" gourmand as averse to a playful one and it's beautiful in its own right.
