| My mother makes it. I tried to reach her for her recipe but
she is not around, I know she doesn't use a recipe, she does
it by feel so I don't know if the recipe would be of any good.
All she does is take ground pork, water, and spices (to her
spices are salt and pepper) and boils it for a long time.
She puts it in a bowl and lets it chill, trim the fat that
will rise to the top, and invert the bowl onto a serving
plate.
I like it in a sandwich with mustard.

| The following is the way my mother makes her gortons.
Put the following ingredients into a pot. The amounts really depend
on how much you want to make and how spicy you like it. You might
want to put a very little bit of water into the pan so that the pork
doesn't stick to the pan.
ground pork
chopped onion
salt
pepper
allspice
ground clove
others herbs that you like (I usually point in a little
garlic, but my mother doesn't)
Simmer for 2-3 hours. When it's done cooking, you might want to
drain off a little of the fat (don't drain it all off, you need
some to make it stick together). Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip
up the pork. Put the meat into small bowls and refrigerate until
it becomes firm.
Gortons freeze well.
Use the gortons in a sandwich with a little mustard, on toast, or
on crackers.
