Memere'S Creton (French Canadian Pork Patée)

1. 1

   Combine the pork, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about one hour.

2. 2

   Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 20-30 minutes more.

3. 3

   Add bread crumbs and simmer for about 15 more minutes. (For a spicier mixture, more cinnamon or cloves may be added.).

4. 4

   Place a colander in the sink, and pour the creton mixture into it to drain off excess liquid.

5. 5

   Place the cooked creton in several small containers (such as empty margarine tubs or small bowls), packing the mixture down tightly.

6. 6

   Refrigerate. Serve cold as a spread for French bread or crackers.
