Pineapple, brown sugar and mustard combine to create a tangy sauce for these savory ham and pork appetizers. I like to keep a batch on hand for card parties and other occasions, writes Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas. Ingredients:
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs |
2 pounds ground ham |
1 pound ground pork |
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, undrained |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup prepared mustard |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, onion and bread crumbs. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes.
2. In a blender, combine the pineapple, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar; cover and process until smooth. Pour over ham balls. Transfer to freezer bags; seal and freeze. Or, bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with sauce.
3. To use frozen ham balls: Completely thaw uncooked ham balls with sauce in the refrigerator. Bake as directed in recipe. Yield: 2 batches (about 30 ham balls each).
