  8. Directions (Glaze)
  9. Mix Cornstarch and 4 Tbsp of water in a small bowl and set aside
  10. Mix all other ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  11. Once boiling add the cornstarch water mixture. Stir until thickened and remove from heat
  12. Final Prep
  13. After meatloaf has cooked, remove from oven (keep oven on) and drain off any fat from the pan.
  14. Apply about 1/2 the glaze to the top of the meat loaf.
  15. Put meatloaf back in oven for 15 minutes
  16. Serving
