Ingredient notes: the meat can be all beef or mostly beef plus pork and/or lamb. If you do use all beef make sure it's not more than 75% lean. All the dry spices can be adjusted or substituted to taste. My favored fruit mixture is a combination of raisins, apricots, and prunes, with just a few dried unsweetened cranberries.
2
Preheat oven to 325F.
3
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly by hand.
4
Press the mixture into a small loaf pan or other oven-safe dish. Use less than the entire vessel if necessary to make the loaf at least 2 inches thick.
5
Bake for one hour until the top is well-browned. Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
