I am not too sure what to tell you. When i have bought some of those pork
pies to bring home and freeze.. it never worked The pies we bought from
Appletons were moist, full of favour and the pastry was crisp and fresh. If
I could sent you one .. I would!!! The pies I buy in shops are usually
spicy, (which doesn't help) and dry. I have never tried to make my own. If
I do and I succeed in make one like Appletons, i will tell you! I promise!
