You want a bit of fat, but you don't want it sodden with fat. The simmering water will help to keep the filling quite moist.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-9073382999661008482023-09-08T15:32:38.721+01:002023-09-08T15:32:38.721+01:00Hi Marie, I'd like to try making this but I&#...Hi Marie, I'd like to try making this but I'm wondering what cut of pork to use?

I hate a lumpy tortiere!

Ys, this is the silver lining on a truly awful, horrible year.

It's always so interesting. I'd not heard of this pie before but it looks fabulous.<br /><br />What a treat to be able to make this for your dad, cooking it with your sister and being so close to your children and grandchildren - a year ago, who would have guessed? A wish come true in what has otherwise been a most awful, challenging year for you. <br /><br />Enjoy the pie - you have certainly earned it.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-41474129305550252242020-12-19T13:58:56.223+00:002020-12-19T13:58:56.223+00:00We had tourtiere when we traveled to Quebec severa...We had tourtiere when we traveled to Quebec several years ago. Rick and I are thinking about making this for Christmas. It looks delicious. I'll be interested to see the other recipe too. Monique also shared one.

My mother in law had passed by then and there was no one to make pork pies for after midnight mass. Your recipe is the closet I have seen. when we are simmering the pork we put chopped potato in to cook so it gets all those good juices. then we mash it all together to make it smooth so no lumps either. We do not use summer savory we put in allspice. <br />Merry Christmas<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.com
