This pork terrine is based on my recent Christmas Turkey stuffing. It was very good with the Turkey, so why not on its own?
It's part sage-n-onion, mostly coarse ground Pork, a handful of chopped Chestnuts, and a central core of mi-cuit Prunes (plus S & P, herbs, and some Port). The whole caboodle is wrapped in smoked bacon.
With 'George' (our wood-fired cooker) having been permanently on the go in recent days, we've been taking advantage to cook pies, bread, and such as the above.
However, the weather has now improved so we may not light up again for a few days; my next experiment will be a Bacon Soda Bread...... Stay tuned!

Ooooh that looks so good! The central core of prunes is genius.
That looks lovely

I could eat that! (Especially with gherkins) Looks fab.
The secret weapon in the middle. .
The last one I made had Black Pudding in the middle..... that was good too.
If I made that it would have black pudding at one end for D. and prunes at the other for me. I love prunes...you've set me thinking about a rabbit loaf I was going to make....

A slice with some salad for my lunch tomorrow would be delicious. Notice the first 2 comments also from NZ.
That's what we shall be having in 45 mins. You Kiwis all go to bed late!
Looks delightful Cro ….. and, I'm sure, tastes delightful too ……. I like the prune middle ….. do you think apricots would work too ? XXXX
I'm sure they would. Very nice too!
I need to build myself a cold smoker. Another job on my list thanks to seeing your smoked bacon!
Cro.....is there a recipe you would recommend? That looks delectable! A fig filling might be yummy too.
My favourite recipe is called 'Trial and Error'. I recommend it thoroughly.
Me too; I've been meaning to construct one for years!
Putting prunes in a stuffing is something I have never heard before. However, now that I have reached senior status, it seems not only good, but practical.
I'm on mince and tatties. This makes me just a little envious.
Oh my, that does look superb Cro.
Mmmmm! That looks and sounds delicious! I made a stuffing this year with sausage meat, apple and dried cranberries mixed in with the bread and sage -- that was good, too!
That looks absolutely delicious.
I sought permission from higher authority and she say yes! (I think she pleased with Stalag Luft III)
Cro,
I happened upon your blog after seeing your comment on lloyd khans site. Anybody that finds good there I must have good taste. This is a prime example of why blogs and the internet are so incredible. This country boy from Texas has had the pleasure of visiting you and your life in SW France this Tuesday afternoon all while sipping on my whiskey and tending to my fireplace. Thanks,
I hope to return for a visit.

WOw, that looks RATHER tasty!!!
