Tomato & Barbeque Sweet Glaze (for meatloaf & other meats)

• 1 cup V8 original veggie juice or any tomato based veggie juice u like (can use plain tomato juice or a generic version)
• 1 can diced, crushed or petite tomatoes, about 14-16 ounces (no salt added)
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup grape jelly
• 1/3 cup dark colored brown sugar bbq sauce (i use hunts or sweet baby rays)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp dried onion flakes
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp dried parsley

1. Mix BBQ sauce, grape jelly & brown sugar together in a sauce pan over low heat
2. While that's going if using regular diced tomatoes squeeze n crush them in a bowl using ur hands!
3. Save tomato juice that's in tomatoes!
4. ( if u don't like ur sauce chunky u can use processor or blender)
5. Add the tomatoes with juice as well as V8 juice, garlic, oregano, parsley & onion flakes to the pot!
6. Stir to blend all ingredients!
7. Let simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes to an hour...
8. If u want it thinner just use less cooking time, thicker use longer cooking time!
9. Put this over ur favorite meatloaf!
10. It will work for a beef meatloaf, turkey meatloaf, chicken meatloaf, pork chops, roast, steak, pork roast... U can use on just about any meat u want to spice up with a little somethin extra!
11. Also one little tip is when I use it for my meatloaf I spoon it over before it goes in oven then again when there's about 30 or so minutes left of cook time...
12. U can adjust this recipe to ur liking!
13. Sometimes I use less brown sugar depending on how sweet the BBQ sauce is that I'm using!
14. Sometimes I add a little crushed red pepper flakes if I want more of a spicy kick!
15. This makes a good bit of sauce so if not using all of it then it can be frozen for later use!
16. Best way is to put in ice trays n freeze n then pop out n transfer to a freezer storage bag!
17. Thaw in microwave or on low to medium heat on stove!
18. Then just use it on whatever meat or meatloaf u want to use it on!
19. Hope all enjoys!
