Alice's French Canadian Meat Pie - Tourtiere image

This is my mother's recipe that she got from her mother, who was born in Montreal Canada. We have had these pies every Christmas since I was a little kid. It would not be Christmas in our family without mom's tourtieres! Thanks mom for the recipe and all the wonderful holidays you gave us over the years!

I'm not a fan of cloves, so I omitted them from the recipe. The pie was still very flavorful, and my family didn't even notice that the cloves were missing.

I had some trouble finding pork shoulder, so I used ground pork instead. It turned out great! The pie was still very flavorful and moist.
