1 1/2 lbs. ground pork
1/2 c. finely chopped onion

1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. pepper

In saucepan, combine pork, onion and 1/2 cup water; mix well. Cook, covered, over very low heat and simmer for 2 hours. Skim off fat.

Cook potatoes; drain. Add to meat mixture along with spices; mash with potato masher; blend well. Place mixture in pastry lined 9 inch pie pan. Cover with top crust, sealing edges by pressing gently with fork.

Snip 3 or 4 small slits near center to allow steam to escape. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water just until blended; brush mixture over top of pie. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 6 servings.
