Pineapple Ham Balls image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups ground fully cooked ham
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 large 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

Steps:

  • 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.
