Best Ham Loaf With Brown Sugar Glaze Recipes

HAM LOAF (WITH TASTY BROWN SUGAR DIJON GLAZE)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet or frying pan over medium heat, then saute the diced onion for 4-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Remove from heat when done and allow to cool.
• Place cubed ham into a food processor and pulse until broken up and ground, but not turning into a paste consistency. Transfer the ham into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the remaining ingredients (ground pork, egg, seasoned breadcrumbs, milk, ground black pepper, and sauteed onion) and mix until well combined.
• Transfer the ham loaf mixture to your prepared baking sheet or pan and form into a loaf shape, approximately 8x4-inches in size. Place the loaf into your oven in the middle of the center rack and bake for 1 hour at 350°F (175°C) or until the internal temperature of the ham loaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
• Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl (light brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar) until smooth. Coat the ham loaf with the glaze and top with optional pineapple rings and maraschino cherries then return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove the cooked ham loaf from your oven and tent a sheet of aluminum foil over the loaf loosely. Allow the ham loaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

HAM LOAF WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the ham & pork together, then add the crackers, milk & egg. Mix all of this well together. (I use my hands.)
• 2. Shape into a loaf or put in a loaf pan (just like meatloaf). Bake in oven.
• 3. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Cook brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, & honey in a saucepan on the stove for about 10 minutes, stirring every so often.
• 4. After ham has baked for 40-45 minutes, baste the loaf with half the glaze. I like to poke a few fork holes into the loaf to get the sauce all throughout. Cook for another 15 minutes & then add the rest of the glaze & bake for an additional 5-10 mins.
• 5. Enjoy! This is great hot or cold. I actually prefer it cold. Note: My friend told me she adds pineapple juice to the glaze, which I think is brilliant, & another friend mentioned she puts some pineapple juice right in as she's mixing the meats, and I'll be that makes it extra juicy & delish! Going to do that next time, too. :)

Shape into 1-in. balls; place in a single layer on greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans., For glaze, cook and stir all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Spoon over ham balls. Bake until ham balls are just beginning to brown, 30-35 minutes, rotating pans and carefully stirring halfway through. Gently toss in glaze. Serve warm.
