Above is a picture of some very leaky lemon curd phyllo pockets along with some semi-leaky mincemeat pockets.
The Spanakopita, which I did not take a picture of, turned out great.
To be fair, some of the leaks on the mince pockets are from where I poked them before baking so I’d be able to tell the two sweet treats apart.
Turns out, this was not the problem. The fact that lemon curd must liquefy to a greater degree in a hot oven was the problem.
Never mind, I’m sure they will still taste fine. It’s just they will have more of a lemon glaze than a lemon filling. And phyllo is always delicious.
Also, you can’t know how something will work until you try.
In the future, I think I’d use the little phyllo cups for lemon curd and just be a bit more careful folding the mince pockets.

Could you make little gathered purses instead of triangles? Of course, I’m now drooling again. It’s not fair that sweet stuff is out of my life now. We went to the street Christmas party last night and I won 11 chocolates in the Christmas general knowledge quiz, one for each question I got right.. The Husband is delighted! I’m sulking.

That was actually the original recipe, but we enjoyed doing the triangles so much that we did them that way. So sorry about your chocolates and think you should reward your goodness with some fabric. 😁

I’ll be sure to let the Husband know you think so. On the other hand, I have a cupboard full of fabric and he HAS just laid dout $600, so perhaps the choccies were a small price to pay.

Good point. Maybe forget the chocolates.
