This is a traditional French Canadian sandwich spread. I used to love when my Mémère made this, the house smelt so nice. She used to spread it on toast for us for breakfast, with a bit of mustard, salt and pepper, and it was so yummy. Ingredients 1 pound ground pork 1 cup milk 2 onions, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup dry white rice breadcrumbs Directions Combine the pork, milk, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about 45 minutes, adding a bit of water if necessary to allow simmering without sticking. (You want the mixture to be moist with just a bit of liquid to absorb the bread crumbs) Mash with a potato masher to break apart any big chunks. Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 15 minutes more. Add bread crumbs and mix well. Cool completely and place in a conatiner, packing the mixture down tightly; cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve cold as a spread for crusty bread or crackers. This freezes well for future use.

This recipe should give 4 dozen tarts depending on how full you fill the shells and how big your tart tins are. Melt in your mouth butter tarts, oh so good!! When I was in the NAVY, the cooks would make this for dessert, which we called "Duff". This is my kryptonite. Ingredients 1 cup butter, melted 3 tablespoons vinegar 4 eggs, lightly beaten 4 cups brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup raisins This will give you about 48 butter tarts. Directions Line tart tins with pastry. Sprinkle 6-8 raisins into each tart shell. Let butter cool to room temp, then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth. Spoon into unbaked tart shells, filling about 2/3 full. Bake at 200°F for 15 min, then without taking the tarts out, turn the oven to 350°F. Bake another 10-15 min, until they start to brown. This method will prevent them from boiling over. See my pastry recipe HERE Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome
