Hello Jenny, Today I made your recipe and it turned out beautiful! I used leftover ham as you suggested and followed your recipe except I did add more bread since it seemed a bit loose and I was afraid it would fall apart. I also added one TBS of sweetened dried Cranberry's in with the raisins for color and additional fruit flavor. This meatloaf is execptional and a nice change from traditional meatloaf, It's a keeper for me!!Reply
