Cinnamon, cloves and allspice are sprinkled over ground pork, mashed potato and onion and simmered in water for about an hour until the flavors are mingled and a thick sauce is created. This tasty filling is spooned into a deep dish pie crust, topped with another crust, and baked until deliciously brown.

The filling for this savory pork pie is a wonderful combination of ground pork, heaps of mushrooms, celery, fresh bread crumbs, and lots of herbs and spices: parsley, ground savory, cinnamon and cloves. Everything is cooked up together and then tumbled into a prepared crust. The top crust is slipped on and the pie is baked until golden brown.

This recipe was given to me as part of a bridal shower gift. My husband loves meat and pies, so he was practically in heaven when I made this for him! I have also used a refrigerated pie crust and it is just as good. Originally submitted to PieRecipe.com.
