These mouthwatering meatballs are a Pennsylvania Dutch specialty, so I enjoy offering them to folks who came to visit. The combination of ham and pork makes these a hearty snack.

I have used this recipe often. I increase the recipe and bake the balls on foil covered baking sheets. When cooled I put 25 balls in freezer bags and freeze. When I need a quick meal or a covered dish I take out the number of ball that I think I will need. I make the glaze and reheat the balls in the glaze. It is very well received at our camping group's potluck. I have also make the recipe into loafs insteat of the balls.
