This turned out great with roasted carrots and beets from our garden on the side. I know it sounds odd, but it really works. We had a friend over for dinner who normally doesn't eat venison and she was shocked when we told her what was in it.
Enjoy.

MEAT LOAF WITH MUSTARD AND DRIED FRUIT

10 ounces lean ground beef (or venison)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs made from whole wheat bread
1/4 cup chopped mixed dried fruits or chopped dried apricots
1 large egg
3 tablespoons chopped shallots (or onions)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon crumbled dried sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons apricot preserves



Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine beef, breadcrumbs, chopped fruits, egg, shallots, 1 tablespoon mustard, sage, salt and pepper in large bowl; mix thoroughly. Shape mixture into 2 oval loaves, each about 1 inch thick, and place on small rimmed baking sheet.
Bake loaves 10 minutes. Mix preserves and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard in small bowl. Brush preserves mixture generously over loaves. Continue to bake until loaves are cooked through and thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F, about 8 minutes.
