Friggin love marrying a french canadian.  This is an Xmas eve staple, in her house.  I don't argue.  Wife made a gluten free crust to this year so she can enjoy.

 

2lbs ground pork

1-1/2tsp cinnamon

1-1/2 tsp clove

1/4 cup water

 

 

put this into a 4qt pot and bring to a boil/brown.  It's sort of a thick mix.  Add 2TSB of either powdered potatoes or coconut flour once you bring it off the stove.  Cool for 60min. 

 

Pour mix into a pie pan with a pie bottom laid in.

 

Let congeal in the garage overnight.  Put a pie top.  Bake @300F for 40min to serve.

Oh...and salt and pepper to taste in the mix when before it goes into the pie crust.

Great stuff, and like most traditional ethnic foods, everyone has their own spin on it.  My mother mixes 1/2 hamburg and 1/2 ground pork pork, and probably puts in a bit more potatoes.  

 

Has to have pork though...
