MEMERE'S CRETON (FRENCH CANADIAN PORK PATéE)
This was my favorite breakfast spread when I visited my grandparents as a child. I loved when my Memere made it because the entire house smelled so good. It is a French Canadian recipe. If you are French and from Canada, you must have tried this at one time.

Steps:
- Combine the pork, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about one hour.
- Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 20-30 minutes more.
- Add bread crumbs and simmer for about 15 more minutes. (For a spicier mixture, more cinnamon or cloves may be added.).
- Place a colander in the sink, and pour the creton mixture into it to drain off excess liquid.
- Place the cooked creton in several small containers (such as empty margarine tubs or small bowls), packing the mixture down tightly.
- Refrigerate. Serve cold as a spread for French bread or crackers.
