#1124 - Glazed Ham Loaf

(by Bernice Merrill - friend)

1lb. ground ham
1lb. ground pork
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cracker crumbs (more if needed)
Glaze: 1/4 cup cider vinegar; 3/4 cup pineapple juice; 1 tsp. French's mustard; 1 cup Domino's dark brown sugar

In a large bowl add ground ham and ground pork--mix with your hands. Add the eggs, milk, and cracker crumbs--mix with your hands until well mixed. Form the mixture into two loaves. Glaze: in a bowl add vinegar, pineapple juice, mustard and brown sugar--stir with a spoon until smooth. Place ham loaves into a greased casserole dish. Pour the glaze over the tops of the ham loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-90 minutes. Every 20 minutes while baking, use a spoon to get syrup from the bottom of the casserole and drizzle it on the two ham loaves. When you think they are ready, slice through one loaf to see if the inside is hot.
