Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.

MINI HAM LOAVES
This is a family favorite. My aunt used to make them every Easter. The recipe comes from an old church cookbook. Whenever I order the meat from the meat market, I order ground ham and pork from a local meat market premixed. I order triple the meat required, packaged into three packages, give one to my mother, use one, and freeze one to use later. Serve these with horseradish.
