Pineapple Ham Balls
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour
YIELD: 4-5 servings.
Cooking has always been a big part of my life. I come from a family of eight, and my husband and I have five children, all grown now. I've made my pineapple ham balls for them for years. They're a great use for leftovers, especially if you're in a hurry. —Alice Whitlow, Didsbury, Alberta

In a bowl, combine ham, pork, bread crumbs, eggs and pepper and mix well. Chill. Form into 10 balls; set aside. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of juice. Place juice in a saucepan with sugar, vinegar and dry mustard; cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Arrange pineapple slices in the bottom of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place a ham ball on each pineapple slice. Pour sugar mixture over all. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until ham balls are thoroughly cooked.
