    List of Ingredients




    1 lb. lean ground pork
    1 cup water
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. ground sage
    1/4 tsp. black pepper
    1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
    1/4 tsp. dry mustard
    1/4 tsp. ground cloves
    1/4 tsp. cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. ground corriander
    1/4 tsp celery seed
    1/4 tsp. all spice
    1 tsp. sugar

    Recipe



    In skillet brown ground pork; drain off excess fat. Add the rest of the ingredients to the cooked pork and simmer covered, until the onion is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring often.

    Meanwhile prepare plain pastry as for a double crust pie.(To save time buy frozen pre-made pie crusts). Fill pastry-lined 9" pie plate with hot meat mixture. Adjust top crust; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top for escape of steam. Bake uncovered in a preheated 400 degree oven, until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

    Cover edges of pastry with foil, if neccesary to prevent overbrowning. Serves 6

    We make a few of these at a time and freeze them for a quick and easy meal anytime. I serve it with creamy mashed potatoes, vegetables and a tossed salad. Reheat in a preheated 300 degree oven until heated through.
