Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality ham for the best flavor. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-cut for easy slicing.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough to coat the ham balls evenly. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the ham balls and not stick.
  • Bake the ham balls until they are heated through and the glaze is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the ham balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Glazed ham ball appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make party food. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal holiday party.
