Old Fashioned Glazed Ham Balls
- 2 pounds Ground Pork
- 2 pounds Ground Ham
- 4 whole Large Eggs
- 1- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1-13 cup Finely Crushed Shredded Wheat Cereal
- 3- 1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar, Lightly Packed
- 1- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (do Not Use White Vinegar Here, It Just Doesn't Taste Right!)
- 2 teaspoons Ground Mustard Powder (Or 1 Tablespoon Prepared British-style Mustard, Like Coleman's.)
- 1.
- Use the coarse setting on your meat grinder to grind your ham.
- (If you do not have a meat grinder, use your food processor to pulse until it is finely chopped like hamburger or chop very finely with a large, sharp knife.)
- 2.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 3.
- Evenly coat two 9x13 baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray.
- 4.
- Combine all the ham ball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 5.
- Roll the meat into 2-inch balls.
- (I use a disher to get evenly sized meatballs so they cook at the same rate.)
- 6.
- Arrange the ham balls in the pans.
- Set aside.
- 7.
- Add all the glaze ingredients to a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, whisking just until the sugar is fully melted.
- 8.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Do not cover the pan while simmering.
- 9.
- Pour the glaze over the ham balls, dividing evenly between the two pans.
- 10.
- Bake the ham balls, uncovered, for 70 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency and the ham balls are browned.
- Notes:
- These freeze well, so dont worry about the high volume of the recipe.
- Not that youll have many left, that is.
- Theyre just a bit too tasty.
