Method
- Put the tomato paste, honey, salt and chili powder in a mixing bowl. Stir them together, pressing any firm honey into the paste.

- Gradually stir in the measured beef meat stock until the glaze is smooth. Scrape the sides and bottom so no dense paste or separate honey remains.

- Spread the batch evenly over the shaped meatloaf before baking. Cook with the meatloaf according to its recipe; do not separately simmer or reduce the glaze.
Notes
One batch supplies the measured topping for one eight-serving spicy beef meatloaf with vegetables. The stock amount is 11 tablespoons, equivalent to 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons.
Full GAPS after the ingredients are introduced and tolerated. Tomato and chili are nightshades. Mild chili powder changes the heat, but does not make this glaze nightshade-free.
If the finished stock has gelled, gently warm the measured portion until it flows, then cool enough for comfortable mixing. Refrigerate prepared glaze promptly in a covered container. Keep a clean portion separate before spreading on raw meat.
