Preparation:
In a small sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine both the salsa and preserves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue until slightly thickened.
1. In a pie tin, press half of the meat loaf mixture firmly and evenly to the edge all the way around. Spread the riccota mixture evenly over the meat. Spread 2 tablespoons of the glaze over the cheese and top carefully with the other half of the meat. 2. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Uncover the loaf and turn out onto a sheet pan. Brush the remaining glaze over the entire loaf and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes. Cut into pie shaped slices and serve immediately. |
