Oh, I hope you made that pork pie for your dad, and that he enjoyed it. 😊

I've been making my own pork pies, the proper Yorkshire way, for the past 12 years here in Sweden (the locals love them). I prepare my meat exactly the same way that you do, even though I often make my own mince from pork belly. The only difference between your recipe for hot-water crust and mine is that I never use "shortening", since it has now been proved that it is injurious to health. Trans-fat seed oils started life as industrial lubricants until enterprising corporations started to sell them as 'food' for vast profits. Food they are not, so avoid them. Good old-fashioned lard is delicious and nourishing and can't be beaten. Also I make my own jelly by roasting pork bones and then pressure cooking them along with some pig's trotters and an onion. The flavour and texture of this traditional jelly cannot be bettered. Good video and I hope it encourages more people to make their own pork pies.👍🏻

I’m in the states, but love pork pie. Made a little one to test my hand and it worked out great (in fact, phenomenal.) I’m excited to try your air fryer method, your success with it was very encouraging. I hope you can explain to folks the condiments you ordinarily eat with a pork pie as it makes the experience delightful. I tried mine with Indian Lime pickle Chutney and some hot pepper jelly from right here in Washington. It was MARVELOUS! - thanks for all the great instruction and tips!

Sounds amazing! Many folks eat pork pie with mushy peas, hot. Cold with pickles. Branston. I like it with mustard. Thank you. Best, Rik

For extra scrumptiousness,make your own pork stock. Taje a piece of pork shoulder and the skin off of a piece of pork belly. Boil with onions, carrots and whatever other aromatics you prefer for a good while, fish out the solids and reduce. The skin will render out a lot of gelatine, which will make it turn to jelly when refrigerated. So just use that instead of store-bought gelatine and seasoning. Guaranteed to be even more tasty.

Hi John , it's a long but I am from Wrexham in North Wales. I now live in New Zealand where it is impossible to find a decent pork pie and I love them. When I was in the UK at mums 4 years ago, I went through 25 in a month. Then back to NZ and Nothing. Pork pie withdrawal Thanks again John you're a star.

Very nice pie, great balance between crust, filling and jelly. And I say that as a man who makes and eats a lot of (I hope) good pork pies. And if you encounter anyone who claims to dislike British food you can call it Farce du porc en croute Anglaise.

Aye but they're not as good as they used to be in the UK.

I have not made a pork pie for a year or two and I had just dusted off my recipe to have another go when I came across your video. Surprise, surprise the recipes are virtually identical. But two things I learned from you. One is to include a few bread crumb and the other is to have an air vent when pouring in the gelatin. I'm going to do both of these this time. Thanks for the tips.

What a beautiful pie! Excellent instructions and presentation. This video is so calming, as well. No stress. Looks scrumptious! The gelatin is a lovely touch. In Quebec, Canada, we put fruit ketchup on tourtière (meat pie), which reminds me of Branston pickle. I have to make this pork pie recipe. I can just imagine biting into it. So good!

An excellent video Rik, and an awesome pork pie, a very easy recipe to follow and is my next item to make. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cooking skills with me.

Good job mate. Try it the Melton Mowbray way....white pepper not black and jelly is made with a rich chicken stock.

My family lives in Quebec CA. My mother and aunt used to make this and I loved it. I had forgotten it until I saw you. Thank you for the memories.

In America pork mince is ground pork readily available on the grocery shelf from a considerable number of manufacturers. My favorite is Jimmy Dean! Looking forward to making this!

Now that's a pork pie! Amazing!

I made this for lunch last Sunday here in Kiwiland. The only variations were I put a tsp of mustard powder in, used fresh sage and since I boned out the pork shoulder while the meat rested overnight I made a stock with the pork bones and used that instead of a stock cube the next day. We had a young English couple from Newcastle with a new baby over for lunch and the look on the husband's face when he spotted the pie was pure desire. Served it with some fresh Lettuce & tomatoes from the garden and for the NZ twist I used homemade Feijoa chutney. 😊 Very nice indeed.
