Home Made Pork Pie

[@loriburgess1866]

I had British great grandparents. They immigrated to the US the beginning of the 1900’s. I saw meals like this at my grandparents house when I was little. I was raised in California. California cuisine is quite different than meat pies. Thank you for the happy memory of my grandparents house meals when we would travel back to Ohio for holidays.

I can imagine that Mike might have been getting a bit excited as this pie was cooking with the lovely aroma wafting about. The aroma is so homey and inviting while it's cooking. Looks like he will be very happy for quite a while!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks very much

Just watched again as a refresher before I make our Christmas Pork pie.

Jane That was do enlightening I've only heard of pork pie in literature or maybe nursery rhymes? I learned a lot today and it looks marvelous.

[@rhondacromer1474]

You are such a talented cook.

[@stephenbertus5671]

Just come back from shopping at Asda & Lidl, they have jars of duck or goose fat for £1:50 per 250g jar. That's cheaper than butter. I stocked up on loads. For breakfast I rub toast with garlic, spread on duck or goose fat and add salt to taste, yumm! I also use it in cooking as a butter replacement, loads more flavour.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Yummy too, amazing roast potatoes

[@LoriSkees]

When I traveled to Great Britain a few years ago, I ordered whatever pie was on the menu at every restaurant we went to. They were my favorite food! I don’t remember if I had a pork pie, yours looked delicious!

[@cherylverber7672]

Fab recipe and Mike is going to enjoy eating that with his onions and Branston, its like all of his birthdays have come at once 😁

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks very much

Are you considering doing a cook book? Your meals always look so delicious.

[@carolbuckley8535]

Looks lovely Jane we always brought pork pies over to France for our son. I must admit to liking Pate Encroute when in France, we do our own pickle onions and I will buy Melton Mowbray pork pie. Mike is a lucky chap it takes a great deal of love to make that pie enjoy ❤

[@cma250]

There's nothing as disappointing in life as a pork pie without any jelly. 😅 Yours looked absolutely delicious.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks very much for watching

[@amayastrata4629]

I hate the jelly actually and I don’t like the meat but I love the pastry. I always pinch bits of the pastry if we have any in our fridge.

[@suzanneroberge494]

Thanks for doing this recipe. I hope to try it someday. Thought the chutney was interesting- I make french canadian pork pie at Christmas & I've always liked chutney with mine. Never saw it served that way, but they just seemed to go together somehow.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks Suzanne

[@mariannejoynes6541]

Fantastic! I’m not a big pork pie fan tbh, but it’s definitely a great thing to have over the holidays if people happen to drop in unexpectedly. Years ago this type of pie was made to “store meats” . They would use any kind of game meats and the pie would last weeks without being cut.The original frugal meal! Xx

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

They last a long time

[@Barneybudgets]

Oh my that looks tasty.

[@pamelawalton1255]

Looks fab that's going to fill you up for a couple of days,I'm just making a pork mince sausage roll plait for tea, using up some frozen puff pastry whilst I'm defrosting the freezer ., not made one since I did domestic cooking in secondary school xx

[@karen2494]

The pie looks delicious! I have never seen pie crust made that way, I need to try it! Thanks for another great video.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks very much

[@primrosejones3368]

Takes me back, made this in Domestic Science - not only a lot smaller but we formed pastry round an upturned jar and cooked it free standing from what I remember - it was over 40 years ago!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Great memories

[@lindamcconnell1653]

Scrumptious looking pie. Reminds me a bit of our French Canadian tourtiere but without the jelly. We also add cinnamon and ground cloves to ours as well as cooked potatoes. Served with pickles, marinated beets, and fruit chutney. I will try your recipe as the results are so yummy looking:)

[@Bettys_Eldest]

My home town had two pork butchers. Greens was our preferred butcher. As a kid In the late sixties I would be sent on Christmas Eve to collect our "stand" pie from the butcher. Depending on who was with us over Christmas we would order either a 10" or 12" pie. When I arrived early morning the queue would already be a fifty yards long. I would have to wait around an hour to collect our order. The pie would be eaten on Boxing Day along with the Turkey leftovers and a buffet. When my eldest daughter was married six years ago she had a three later pork pie "cake" shipped down from home for the evening buffet. Proper food!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

[@Pooligan1964]

Hi Jane I live in Rennes and make pork pies, pork and stuffing, pork and black pudding, and gala pork pies. I also make my own sausages of various flavours. Thanks for the video if you’re ever in Rennes feel free to call round and sample my wares.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

We haven’t visited Rennes yet and hope to have a day out soon. Enjoy those pies.

I'm sure Mike appreciated your hard work, especially since you cannot buy this taste of home in France. :)

[@sewrenity_now]

I'm curious how you used the extra pie dough?

[@katworkstowander9853]

Hi Jane, looks delicious. I regularly make chicken pot pie but just use a cheater store bought pie crust. Always interested watching a different version.

Guess I'd better add pork belly and lard to my shopping list!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

I think you better.

[@bettyvorley1130]

It looks delicious. I'm just wondering what size tin you used for 1 kg of meat?

[@helenhartley6904]

Looks delicious! I might try this without the pastry, perhaps topping the pork meat with ham slices.

[@denisescott3943]

Hello Jane could you make this pie with lamb. From South Africa

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Um? Lamb pie? It won’t be a pork pie but why not.

[@lindalomax5448]

A picky tea? Did you also have an ifits meal , i.e. if it’s here you can have it. Whenever my mum had lots of things leftover from the week, we’d have an ‘ifits’ meal

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Yep, if it’s too

[@virginiastewart1523]

Lol, thank you! This reminded me of a dear friend who always had "dab night" if there was a "dab of this and a dab of that" left over from previous meals! Good memories!

[@teresaplayford2338]

It’s fattening….who Cares…indeed!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Absolutely! It’s not something to eat every day but all men love pie

[@carolined3058]

Never ate it , I guess it will fill enormously

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

I think it would

[@naomibarton6139]

Why is the jelly added?

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Fill the gaps. It’s a pie that lasts

[@Bettys_Eldest]

Because the jelly is the best bit! It also keeps the air from spoiling the pie, giving it a few days shelf life.

[@naomibarton6139]

Oh I see! I never realised it was added before. I just thought it was around the meat naturally and it was some kind of jelly like fat! It actually put me off eating them as a child. I’ve been missing out.😂

[@greenfoxgaming6721]

I am not familiar with this meal. Is the pork pie served hot? Cold? With gravy?

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

I showed how it is served in the video.

[@greenfoxgaming6721]

@@FrugalQueeninFrance yes, I watched the whole video, but I couldn’t understand if it was hot or cold or if it could be served with gravy. I’m just trying to learn 😔😢🥺

@@greenfoxgaming6721 I showed it served with salad and pickles and said it is served cold, I’m assuming therefore you didn’t watch until the end.
