My grandma makes these pies for me out of that year's deer every Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are the best pies in existence. I don't have a photo but here is the recipe for the filling. Then you just make it into a pie like you would an apple pie.
Pie filling ingredients:
3 lbs deer burger or roast
1/2 lb suet
2 1/2 quarts apples, peeled and Chopped
2 lbs seedless raisins
2 lbs dried currants
1/4 lb citron, diced
2 tbsp candied orange peel
2 cups sugar
2 tsp salt
4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp allspice
2 tsp ginger
1 1/2 tsp cloves
2 cups cider
2 cups pineapple juice
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups white corn syrup
3/4 cups cider vinager
1/4 cup butter
If you are using round you have to slow cook it and shred it fine. If you are using burger then you brown it in a pan.
Grind the suet fine
Mix everything into a 2 gallon kettle and heat it until it is boiling.
Mix it up real good then let it cool and put it into the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks, stirring every few days
This makes 8 pies so you can freeze a bunch of it and save for later.
