Swedish Ham Balls In Brown Sauce Recipe

Swedish Ham Balls In Brown Sauce

From chummers 12 years ago

This recipe has been served in our family for over fifty years. It is a family favorite and very adaptable.

Mix together ground ham and pork, bread crumbs, eggs and water. My mother's notes say to use your hands.
The original recipe says to make 16 balls. This are big more like a meal per ball, we tend to make 30 balls placing them in a 9X13 baking dish sprayed with no-stick.
Preheat oven to 325* F.
Combine ingredients for the sauce in a small sauce pan heating to dissolve sugar. Pour sauce over ham balls.
Bake uncovered for an hour or until done (this will depend on how big you made your balls)
Baste frequently (the more you baste, the more likely it will take longer to bake)
There is no need to turn these as the basting puts a beautiful brown colored glaze on each candied delight.
We have served these hot, warm and cold. Great leftovers. Great for holiday hors devours.

Note flip flop in water and milk. Milk goes in the meat mixture. Funny story there.

Interesting...seems like you are on a roll.
Anything that has survived that many decades and still enjoyed,should be investigated.
I like a recipe that holds the idea of the adaptation of the wild instead of the domesticated...dove,duck,pheasant,quail,grouse,deer,elk, ect, ect, holds my attention.
Thank-you
Kind Regards
