Hawaiian Loaf
1 can Spam (reserve jelly)
1 lb ground pork or ground turkey
1 cup oatmeal, bread crumbs or shredded zucchini
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 small can pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice)
Grind the Spam or mince it in a food processor.
Beat the egg and mix with milk.
Combine all ingredients and knead well.
Refrigerate for an hour to overnight.
Mold into a loaf about 1 1/2" thick. Dot with whole clove if desired.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 350° for 20 minutes.
Top with glaze
Glaze
Reserved pineapple juice and Spam jelly plus water to 1/2 cup
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground clove
Simmer until reduced by 1/3
If you have any baseball bat zucchini, this is a great way to use it. Always bake any meatloaf on a sheet. You do not want it swimming in it's own grease. The glaze works well with ham or smoked turkey.
Another method is to make the loaf mix without the tidbits. Form it around a pineapple ring with a cherry in the center. This makes a burger-like shape, but smoke instead of grilling.
