We arent mince pie lovers so I only bought one box (which we ate) but visitors brought some and we now have lots of them left....
Any interesting suggestions to jazz them up?

Mincepie icecream?.... http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/6587050

I'd not faff about - I'd probably just nuke them for 20 seconds or so - and top them off with some instant custard. Eaten from a bowl, with a spoon.0

good suggestion,
here's another:
they should still be ok about 25th Jan, so dip in a beer batter and deep fry, then have with haggis, neeps n tatties for a Burns supper.0 -
They freeze well, so that is what I would doBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

I'm still struggling with the concept of leftover mice pies, is that similar to the fabled leftover wine?0

The only thing I can think of is to freeze them until needed/wanted.
I saw the most revolting recipe for mincemeat over xmas on youtube. A mincemeat omelette with a big dusting of icing sugar over the top cooked by a certain Mrs Cradock for Christmas 1975.0 -
I'd second the idea of eating them with custard as a quick and easy pudding. I wouldn't nuke them though, makes the pastry go soggy - a few mins in the oven should do it, especially if you already have the oven on to cook supper...Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0

think I am going to have to try that omelette!0

I've just pollished off the last 2 by smothering the tops with peanut butter... Delicious!0

If you don't like them as they are I don't think anything would jazz them up to an extent that they'd be any better.
Do you have a workplace/coffee morning with friends that they can be donated to and shared. This could encourage others to share their leftovers which you may prefer.
I love mince pies and can't imagine having any leftovers, but hope you find a use for them soon
