1 Cup V-8 vegetable juice cocktail
3 slices bread, fresh and soft
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound ground ham
1/2 pound ground veal
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
Dash of cayenne
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon water
Recipe
Put the V-8 juice in a small saucepan and heat thoroughly. Place the bread, well broken up, into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour the vegetable cocktail over it. With the beaters of your mixer at low speed, beat until the bread and juice are thoroughly mixed and cooled. Then turn your mixer to its highest speed and add the eggs, one at a time. Add the salt, pepper and onion.
Now stir in the ground meat by hand. Be sure that all is mixed. Mix the sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce and water together. Pour this into the bottom of the loaf tin. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in the tin. Bake in a 375 degree oven for one hour. At the end of this time, invert the loaf on an oven proof platter and continue to bake for 30 minutes longer. The glaze which was at the bottom of the loaf will now glaze the top.
