GLAZED HAM BALLS



Glazed Ham Balls image

Meet the Cook: Over the years, I have found this recipe ideal for using leftovers from a baked ham. The pleasantly soft ham balls are glazed with a thick sauce that's slightly sweet with a hint of cloves. I frequently take them to church potlucks. -Esther Leitch, Fredericksburg, Virginia

3 tablespoons cider vinegar
4-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. For the best results, use a fully cooked ham that is at least 1 pound in weight. A larger ham will yield more ham balls, but it will also take longer to cook.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your ham balls will taste. Use fresh parsley, thyme, and onion for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the ham balls. Ham balls are best when they are cooked through but still slightly juicy. Overcooked ham balls will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick and syrupy. The glaze is what gives ham balls their delicious flavor. Make sure it is thick and syrupy before you add the ham balls.
  • Serve ham balls hot or cold. Ham balls can be served hot or cold. If you are serving them cold, let them cool completely before refrigerating.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar glazed ham balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
