6. While the loaf is cooking, combine all sauce ingredients in a pan. Then bring to boil, and simmer for 5 mins.
7. After the 30 minutes, take the loaf out and pour out any liquid, then coat with about half of the sauce and bake for another 45 minutes. 
8. After the 45 minutes, remove the loaf and cover again with the rest of the sauce, optionally leaving some sauce to throw on slices of the loaf individually.
9. Enjoy with some mashed potatoes and maybe carrots and asparagus.
