5 lb. lean ground pork
1 med. onion, diced
1 tbsp. ground cloves

1 tsp. allspice

Have butcher grind pork and beef together. Request to have meat put through grinder twice if possible. Simmer meat in large frying pan or Dutch oven in 1 quart of water. Add onion and spices. Simmer 2 hours.

Add water to keep meat from drying out or becoming crispy. Remove from heat and store in cold place uncovered overnight to allow grease to rise to top of pan. The next day remove grease from top of meat.
