Pork Pie Recipe anyone?

[bakechef]

My grandmother was French Canadian, and used to make pork pies during the holidays. It has been years since I had one, this thread has inspired me to try to make one.

Bolas--Crisco is a solid vegetable shortening, lard is, well lard.

LCBO Food and Drink has had a number of tourtiere recipes over the years. I've made this one and really liked it:

We don't really get Pork Pies here since it's not South African and I love them!

Earlier this year I had a nice pork loin roast, but there was much left over. The next day, I simply used a turkey pot pie recipe and used the diced pork instead. The guests loved it and none was leftover. Try that and remember to use a good pork gravy to help with the moistness.
