CHRISTMAS EVE PORK PIE
Here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it is a tradition for the Catholics to eat pork pie on Christmas Eve, after coming back from Christmas Eve mass. This is a cousin of the French-Canadian Tourtiere. I'm not Catholic, but I love these rich meat filled pies!

CHRISTMAS PORK PIE
When my mother was growing up, her mom made mince pies that contained meat. I created this recipe with my grandmother in mind. This pie is a main dish not a dessert, and I served it for the first time at my mother's 1999 Christmas party to rave reviews. -Candice Salazar Los Alamos, New Mexico
