Ham Balls (this can be made into ham loaf & eliminate the sauce)
3 lbs ground ham
2 lbs ground pork
2 cups quick oatmeal
2 cups milk
1 egg
Mix above ( I use my Kitchen Aid - low speed to combine ). Make ham balls whatever size - I use a metal meatball scoop (very old) or about 1/4 cup. Place on lightly greased sheet pans. In saucepan combine: 1 cup white or cider vinegar, 3 cups brown sugar (I use less or about 2 cups), 1 cup water, 2 Tblsp prepared mustard (I double it). Heat to dissolve sugar but don’t boil. Pour over ham balls & bake 90 minutes at 350 degrees. Its a restaurant recipe so it makes lots so I can freeze some. Our little neighborhood grocery has ham loaf mixture for sale every day so I use that.
