A delightful recipe for a traditional pork spread and meat pie, perfect for gatherings or family meals.
In a large sauce pot, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, allspice, ground clove, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and water.
Ensure the water just covers the ingredients for even cooking.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.
Use a potato masher or fork for a smooth consistency.
Mix the pork spread with the mashed potatoes until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent flavor.
Fill the prepared pie crusts with the pork and potato mixture.
Press the mixture gently into the crust for an even surface.
Brush the top crust with beaten egg and bake according to the pie crust instructions.
The egg wash gives the crust a golden, shiny finish.
Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set for easier slicing.
