TASTE OF HOME OLD FASHIONED HAM BALLS

Steps:

• 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.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Evenly coat two 9"x13" baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine all the ham ball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Roll the meat into 2-inch balls. (I use a medium sized disher to get evenly sized meatballs so they cook at the same rate.)
• Arrange the ham balls in the pans. Set aside.
• 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.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Do not cover the pan while simmering.
• Pour the glaze over the ham balls, dividing evenly between the two pans.
• Bake the ham balls, uncovered, for 70 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency and the ham balls are browned.
