Raised Pork Pie

Well, here we are again, we have a great favour recipe of ours that grandma use to make for us, we loved it.  Grandma would cut us a piece of homemade raised pork pie and place it on a plate, with some fresh homemade pickles, it was such a treat, till this day we love pork pie and pickles, it as become a great Sunday tea treat for the family.  So why not try this great free old yesteryear-recipes.

Ingredients

1lb of dice  pork

1 teaspoon of salt

half teaspoon of pepper

4 ozs lard

1 cup of milk or water

1lb flour

Sprinkle the meat with the salt, pepper and water.  Put the lard and milk into a saucepan to boil.  while this is boiling, put flour into a mixing bowl,  once the lard and milk has boiled pour into the flour, add pinch of salt and mix well together.

Turn out onto a well floured board and knead.  Once kneaded, cut a quarter, and make the rest into a shape of a shallow jar.

Now place the meat into the pie mould that you just made from the pastry, roll out the rest of the pastry and make a lid for the pie, any scraps of pastry left over make shapes of leafs and place on the lid.  Make a small hole in the centre of the pie lid, so that the heat can escape.

Brush which the yoke of an egg, and place in a moderate oven for approximately 2 hours.

The bones from the meat should be boiled with a little water, salt and pepper for seasoning, and when the pie is done, the liquid poured into it, this is done by lifting the lid or removing the whole lid and pouring in the liquid and then replacing the lid.  Once the pie is cold the liquid will turn to jelly.  If you do not wish to have the jelly, the leave out the liquid.  Either way the pie tastes great

Now cut a piece of cold pork pie and get yourself some great homemade pickles, sit down put your feet up and enjoy this wonderful snack.

We hope you like grandma’s raised pork pie as much as we done.
