This recipe is from week 14 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Aruba is my 14th stop. This simple appetizer is made with ground ham and a simple glaze of apricot-pineapple jam.
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 cup soft white breadcrumb
2 tablespoons chopped onions
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon french's prepared mustard
1 lb cooked ham, ground
1 (10 ounce) jar apricot-pineapple preserves
Directions:
1. Mix the ground ham together with the egg, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, seasoned salt and mustard.
2. Shape the mixture into one or two inch balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
3. When the balls are done, let them cool for a few minutes. While they are cooling, put the apricot-pineapple jam into a small saucepan and heat to simmering. Then drop the balls into the jam and roll them around until they are coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
