THIS RECIPE is my family's traditional Easter entree. The individual cups are pretty on the plate, especially when topped with the bright cherry sauce. Since we raise pigs, we have a good pork supply. -Ellen Martin, Oxford, New Jersey Ingredients:
1 egg |
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1 pound ground fully cooked ham |
1/2 pound ground pork |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon prepared mustard |
cherry sauce: |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 can (16 ounces) pitted red cherries, undrained |
red food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs and ground mustard. Add ham and pork; mix well. Shape into eight equal portions; pat lightly into 2-3/4-in. muffin cups. Combine brown sugar and prepared mustard; sprinkle over cups. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until no longer pink.
2. For sauce, combine cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan. Add cherries; cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes longer. If desired, stir in 4-5 drops food coloring. Serve over ham cups. Yield: 6 servings.
