Big Pork Pie | Yorkshire Stand Pie for Christmas

At Christmas time in Yorkshire it's pretty common to see stand pies appearing in butchers' and bakers' shops. And if we still had pubs open they'd likely be selling or raffling these big pork pies. The stand pie - a shortening of 'standing' - is a raised pork pie. The shell is raised around a former and is baked without any mould or support. I won't lie, making a free-standing pork pie is a challenge, and managing to bake it without it collapsing is something that takes a bit of practice. The meat in a stand pie is usually pork shoulder and it's chopped by hand, not minced. The stand pie is similar to a traditional hand-raised Melton Mowbray pork pie, but the main difference is that the meat in a stand pie is baked with curing salt which keeps it pink. The meat in Melton Mowbray pies is not cured so it turns out greyish. As this is a Yorkshire pie, I decided to stamp the lid with the White Rose emblem of Yorkshire, and I ended up 3D printing the stamp. Also in this video I make a traditional jelly using a pigs trotter.
