Memere'S Creton (French Canadian Pork Patée)

Memere'S Creton (French Canadian Pork Patée)


1. Combine the pork, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about one hour.

2. Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 20-30 minutes more.

3. Add bread crumbs and simmer for about 15 more minutes. (For a spicier mixture, more cinnamon or cloves may be added.).

4. Place a colander in the sink, and pour the creton mixture into it to drain off excess liquid.

5. Place the cooked creton in several small containers (such as empty margarine tubs or small bowls), packing the mixture down tightly.

6. Refrigerate. Serve cold as a spread for French bread or crackers.
