I also added the bread crumbs at the end of the hour this way the meat gets thoroughly cooked because it is pork. Then another 10 minutes for the breadcrumbs to be soaked up. Stirring often. Letting it set, put into small containers, cool, refrigerate. Yum. Have fun.

Hi, for the spices I used a pinch of ground Allspice, pinch of ground Cloves, 2 t chopped Garlic. The aroma was" something smells good". The little t in the recipe is meant for teaspoon. A big T = Tablespoon. I am having fun with eating all of it by myself on crackers using a knife to spread. Good luck

I didn't bother sweating the onions and garlic. I just put it all into a pot to simmer. I used 2 cups of soft breadcrumbs instead of dry, and I soaked them in the milk before adding it to the pork. I also used regular pork, so added just a tbsp of butter. For the spice blend, I used 1/2 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. You could always adjust these to your liking.
