2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. sage
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
2/3 c. finely chopped onion

In large skillet combine pork, spices, and onion. Add enough water to cover and simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours mashing with fork for the first half hour.

Meanwhile, cook potatoes and mash. When meat is cooked thoroughly, strain to remove fat and stir in potatoes and mix well. Turn into pastry shells and cover with top crust. Brush with milk. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue baking for 35-40 minutes or until crust is done. Makes 2 pies.

 Susan Mutty (Michigan) says:
This close to the recipe my French Canadian mother-in-law taught me decades ago. No sage or poultry seasoning, rather cloves and cinnamon in the pies. Save some pork and onion mixture for cruton...a pate like spread for toast or crackers.
