Cretons Du Québec~

Yes.. yet another recipe for the holidays that incorporates pork for us..
Must be all these snowy wintry beautifullly cozy bake and cook days.. says she 'till Jan 7th:)





These are sooo light and easy compared to the high fat ones..:)
And they are served as an appetizer..like a pate.With crackers..or a fresh baguette..And a side of your favorite imported or home made mustard.

All done in the microwave!

Recipe for you:)
1 lb of lean ground pork
1 medium onion chopped
12 soda crackers.. coarsely crushed.
2 garlic cloves minced
1 cup of milk
Salt and pepper
Pinch of ground cinnamon*
Pinch of ground cloves*
I always put more cinnamon.

Use a microwave safe dish with lid.
Combine all ings. and microwave covered for 15 min..stirring after every 5 mins.
Pack in pretty jars or molds.
Can keep 2 days in refrigerator like this safely.
You can also whirl in the processor..as I did this time..for a more uniform consistency.
C'est bon:)

And with the sun shining this afternoon.. they looked much better..but alas it was too late:)They'd been put to rest!

  1. Our vistas are so similar now. It is pretty - at least until Christmas.

    The Cretons sound wonderful - especially on a baguette. Perfect for this time of year. Copying and pasting ;)

    Thank you, M.
