Cooking has been a big part of my life...I come from a family of eight, and my husband and I have five children, all grown now. I've made my ham balls for years. They're a great use for leftovers, especially if you're in a hurry. Bob and I farmed for 30 years before our son took over. My farmer still owns two tractors...along with a lawn-cutting and acreage-tilling business! Ingredients:
3 cups ground fully cooked ham |
1/2 pound ground pork |
1 cup soft bread crumbs |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine ham, pork, bread crumbs, eggs and pepper and mix well. Chill. Form into 10 balls; set aside. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of juice. Place juice in a saucepan with sugar, vinegar and dry mustard; cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Arrange pineapple slices in the bottom of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place a ham ball on each pineapple slice. Pour sugar mixture over all. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until ham balls are thoroughly cooked. Yield: 4-5 servings.
