Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
  
• 2 cups milk
  
• 1 cup chopped onion
  
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
  
• 2 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pork and Veal Magic
  
• 1 cup dry, unseasoned breadcrumbs
  
• 1 cup Royal Anne or dark sweet cherries, in heavy syrup, pitted
  
• 1/4 cup port wine (optional)

Preparation
In large skillet or pot, combine pork, milk, onion, garlic and Pork and Veal Magic. Bring to boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and cherries; stir well to make thick paste. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently and scraping sides and bottom of skillet to prevent sticking, until the mixture is very thick and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Stir in port wine and continue to cook until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.

Place mixture in food processor and process until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Process mixture in several batches. Place mixture in lightly buttered bowls or ramekins; refrigerate until cold.
