Whenever I serve these saucy baked ham balls to guests, they ask me for the recipe. It's one I've had for many years and is a great use for leftover ham. I love to entertain, and know I can count on these ham balls to be a hit.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 pound ground fully cooked ham
1/2 pound ground pork
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
hot cooked rice
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, bread crumbs and onion. Crumble ham and pork over mixture; mix well. Shape into 1-1/4-in. balls. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. In a saucepan, combine the pineapple, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and ginger. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over ham balls.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Serve over rice. Yield: 6 servings.
