WALTER’S HAM LOAF

(Make the day before serving)
1 pound ground ham
1 pound ground pork
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
2 cups crushed crackers
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 teaspoons dry mustard

Mix ham, pork, milk, eggs and crushed crackers and shape into a loaf.  Pour tomato juice over the loaf and bake at 350 degrees for 1 – 1 1/2 hours.  Remove from oven to cool.  Refrigerate meatloaf and juices in pan overnight.  Remove solid fat, if any, and reheat in 350 degree oven, basting with remaining juices from pan.  Note:  Mix up extra sauce ingredients and reduce over heat; use as sauce when serving ham loaf.
