Notes

  • Layers and patience are the secrets to a perfect caramelized sweet and sticky finish. First, make the sauce ahead of time so it can meld. I make mine the day before and keep it in the fridge in a covered container. Then, brush a thin layer on the meatloaf before cooking it. Go ahead and cook the meatloaf as usual and add another layer 15 minutes before it is finished cooking. Finally, two minutes before removing the loaf, broil it for a shiny, sticky glaze. 
  • Measure carefully to avoid ending up with a sauce that is too thick or too watery.
  • Run the sauce through a fine mesh sieve if it is too lumpy. 
  • Another way I like to make my sauce velvety smooth and rich is to add a tablespoon of butter.
  • This sauce is too good to waste. Make extra and freeze it or put it in canning jars.
