Ingredients: 2 1/2 pounds lean ground pork; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 large onion, chopped; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 stalk celery, chopped; 1 bay leaf; 3 cups water; 4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed; 2 (15 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts

Servings: persons

2 1/2 pounds lean ground pork
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 bay leaf
3 cups water
4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 (15 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts

1
In a large saucepan, mix together the ground pork, cloves, cinnamon, onion, salt, celery, bay leaf and water. The water will help break up the raw pork. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 3 hours, or until the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf.
2
Towards the end of the pork cooking time, place the potatoes into a separate saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes. When the pork is done, stir the mashed potatoes into that pan until evenly blended.
3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two 9 inch pie plates with bottom crusts. Spoon equal amounts of the pork filling into each crust. Cover with top crusts and flute the edges to seal.
4
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crust is golden brown.
