Steps:
- If your meat is too lean, cut up 1/4-1/3 pound Salt Pork, and render into lardons. Remove the salt pork bits, then continue the recipe, omitting the salt. Do not use bacon for the extra fat, bacon is smoked. You can use Lard, 1-2 T, in a pinch.
- Put all ingredients into a large sauce pot, just covering by an inch with the water.
- Mix together.
- Simmer on low, stirring frequently for 3-4 hours.
- Add water as needed to keep moist and from sticking.
- After the allotted cooking time you should have simmered the mixture down till there is about an inch of combined fat and water.
- Taste to check the seasonings. If your spices are old, you may need to re-spice the mixture
- (with the same amounts), then cook out the raw taste a bit.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool, stirring to keep fat suspended in meat.
- Serve warm on toast, or cold for sandwiches.
- For Tourtiere mix the same mixture with 3 0r 4 mashed (dry) potatoes,
- allowing them to suck up the moisture.
- Allow to cool, and ladle into pre-pared pie crusts.
- Egg wash and bake to specifications.

Steps:
- Put the ground pork, minced onion and garlic,dry mustard, allspice, salt and pepper in a medium size pot and begin to cook on med. high heatuntil meat looses some of its pinkness -- add the can of soup and water and cook till the mixture begins to bubble. Lower heat and let simmer 1/2 hr, stirring often so it doesn't stick.
- When the mixture has cooked and cooled, put into food processor and pulse -- careful not to make it too fine -- you want it a wee bit chunky but spreadable.
- You can put it into small plastic containers.or as mom does -- freeze in ice cube trays -- then pop out just one at a time.
- It's a good idea to seal with bacon fat -- unhealthy but it does seem to give it good flavor and keep it moist.

MOM'S FRENCH CANADIAN CRETONS
This is a traditional french canadian staple. You eat this on toast of choice, it's a high protein very nutritional breakfast favourite. I've been eating cretons since I was a child and everytime I visit my parents, my mother always makes this (one of my favourite dishes) for my husband! I try to make this dish as lean as possible using a combination of turkey and pork, if no turkey than chicken is good also. Portions on the meat is 2 to 1 and doesn't matter if you use more pork than turkey or visa versa, the outcome is always just a good as the last!

Steps:
- On medium high heat brown pork and turkey in the oil and olive oil mix. Using this mix the meat cooks at a higher temperature without burning the oil. While browning add onions and minced garlic; once browned add garlic powder, cloves, cinnamon, and sage, cover the top of meat mixture with salt (I prefer seasalt or kosher) and same, twice around the pot with pepper (preferrably fresh ground). Mix the meat and seasonings and add in boiling water to meat mixture, enough to cover the top. Bring to boil, lower to simmer about 3hrs. or until water is reduced to almost nothing. approximately half way through cooking process adjust your mixture with alspice, no more than a teaspoon should be required. I go by taste. Now to properly adjust the mixture for spreading purposes add in enough bread crumbs to absorb the remaining liquid in the pot. Using a hand blender puree meat mixture. Divide into containers and let cool before freezing or putting in fridge. yeilds 3-4lbs. Enjoy!

MEMERE'S CRETON (FRENCH CANADIAN PORK PATéE)
This was my favorite breakfast spread when I visited my grandparents as a child. I loved when my Memere made it because the entire house smelled so good. It is a French Canadian recipe. If you are French and from Canada, you must have tried this at one time.
