Raised in Quebec Tourtiere was a big Christmas favourite.I created this recipe using a combination of flavours from my Aunt, and my second Mum's recipes. I usually make this recipe from memory, but had so many requests for the recipe, that I decided to write it out to share- Enjoy!!!!

1 lb ground lean pork

6 whole cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
