Place in a greased 13×9 inch (33×23 cm) baking pan, allowing space between each loaf, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, allspice, cloves and pepper. Spoon mixture over loaves thoroughly, covering each one. Place a lemon slice in centre of each loaf and bake for another 30 minutes.
