[Sca-cooks] Pork Fruitcake - Is This a Joke?

[Alexa]

As far as the low temp, I would think it would be
fine.  I looked at the quantity of pork (1 1/5 lbs) to
the quantity it makes- 4 loaves.  That is roughly 6 oz
of meat per loaf.  Not like you are cooking meatloaf
and have 1 1/2 lbs of meat in one pan.  Just my 2
cents.
