1 lb. ground ham
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/4 c. crushed saltine crackers
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. chopped onion
1 can (16 oz.) apricot halves (drained, juice reserved)
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley

In large mixing bowl, blend ground ham and pork, crackers, egg, milk, salt, thyme and pepper. Mix until well blended. Moisten a piece of waxed paper (18 inc). Pat meat mixture to make a rectangle 9 x 12 inch pan. Spread onions over top of meat evenly. Coarsely chop the drained apricots. Sprinkle over onions. Sprinkle parsley over all. Roll as for a jelly roll staring with a 9 inch side, making a compact roll. Simply lift up the waxed paper to start meat rolling. Place meat roll in lightly greased 9 x 5 inch bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Meanwhile boil juice down from canned apricots to measure 1/4 cup brush meatloaf halfway through baking with this juice. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
