Individual Pork & Cranberry Potpies image

My neighbor gave me this recipe years ago. I love how these pies are different from the usual chicken potpie. The flavor combination just screams fall, but freezing them allows my family to enjoy them any time of year. They are especially good for an easy dinner during the cold winter months. -Mary Shenk, Dekalb, Illinois

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
4 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2-1/2 cups apple cider or juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 tablespoon beef or chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or dried thyme
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup water
5 cups chopped cooked pork
4 sheets refrigerated pie crust

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lower third of oven; preheat oven to 450°. In a large saucepan, combine the first 9 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until berries pop, about 10 minutes., In a small bowl, mix flour and water until smooth; stir into cranberry mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in pork; remove from heat., On a work surface, unroll crusts. Roll each into a 14-in. circle. Using a 5-in. disposable foil potpie pan as a guide (top side down), cut out sixteen 6-in. crust circles, rerolling scraps as needed., Press 1 crust circle firmly into bottom and up sides of eight 5-in. disposable foil pans. Divide pork mixture evenly among pans. Place remaining crust circles over tops, pressing bottom and top crusts together firmly; flute edges. Cut slits in crusts., Place potpies on baking sheets. Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Freeze option: Cover unbaked potpies tightly and freeze. To use, bake frozen pies on baking sheets in a preheated 425° oven until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°, 40-45 minutes.
