In a large cooking pot, add the pork, onions, ground clove, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
Cover the meat with water adding about the same quantity of water as meat.
Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to minimum, cover and simmer for 2 hours.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Let the meat cool down in a cool place (refrigerator or outside if it’s cold enough).
When the meat has cooled down, preheat the oven to 450° F.
Line 2 – 9″ pie plates with bottom pastry and trim the edges.
Using a large spoon with holes, spoon the meat equally between both pie crusts.

Cover each pie with the top pastry (make a few holes in your pastry to let the steam out).
Trim and seal the edges.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F. Reduce the heat to 350°F and cook for an extra 30 minutes (cooking may vary depending on the type of plates you use. Glass or metal).
You can freeze your meat pies at this point, just let them cool down before. Thaw and heat in the oven at 350° F until the inside is warm before serving.

 

In our family, this Family Traditional French Canadian Meat Pie is served on Christmas dinner, with mashed potatoes, Turkey, gravy, Stuffing, and French Canadian Pigs Feet and Meatball Ragout. What a feast! Can’t wait for Christmas!

    Caroline, I make a lot of English-style meat pies (my heritage), but I’ve never heard of this French Canadian meat pie! My husband is half French Canadian, so I just asked him about it and he said his father’s family made the meat pies! All these years and he never mentioned it — sheesh!
