Ingredients
  

  • 2½ lbs Minced Pork
  • 1 large onion (minced fine)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1½ tsp cloves
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • water (about 1- 1½ cups per pound of meat; don’t put in too much)

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients and add enough water to cover. Stir to prevent burning. If not as thick as mashed potatoes, use a little flour to thicken.(NOTE: If you add flour, you may have to add additional spices in the proportions above so that the taste is not reduced).
  • Use your favourite pie crust (not too rich) and proceed in the usual manner with upper and lower crusts.
  • Cool filling before placing in uncooked pastry. Cook pastry until golden brown.
    Serve hot or cold.
