Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 4 dozen.
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 1-1/2 cups crushed saltines (about 45 crackers); 2 pounds ground fully cooked ham; 1 pound ground pork; 2 cups packed brown sugar; 6 tablespoons cider vinegar; 2 teaspoons ground mustard

My family prefers these to a traditional roasted ham. It seems they gobble them up as soon as I set them out. You can make them ahead and reheat the next day.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1-1/2 cups crushed saltines (about 45 crackers)
2 pounds ground fully cooked ham
1 pound ground pork
2 cups packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ground mustard

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the eggs and cracker crumbs. Crumble ham and pork over mixture and mix well.
Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place into two greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Drain ham balls; drizzle with syrup mixture; toss to coat. Bake 10 minutes longer or until glazed.

We did not like these at all. When I was mixing them up, I feared they would be dry and I was right. Just all around not good.
