Brown sugar, mustard, herbs and spices season this hearty ham loaf. I like to make several loaves to serve to our retirement club. To speed things up, I use my food processor's chopper blade to grind the meat. Ingredients:
1 cup dry bread crumbs |
1 cup milk |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 pounds ground fully cooked ham |
1-1/2 pounds ground pork |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
mustard sauce: |
2 egg yolks, beaten |
3 tablespoons prepared mustard |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon water |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, milk and eggs. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cloves and mustard. Spread in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Press meat mixture on top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before inverting onto serving platters.
2. For sauce, combine egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, sugar, water and salt in a heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is thickened and reaches 160°, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in butter and horseradish. Cool. Fold in cream. Serve with ham loaves. Yield: 2 ham loaves (6-8 servings each).
