Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to score the ham balls. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the ham balls. If the pan is too crowded, the ham balls will not brown evenly.
  • Cook the ham balls over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Baste the ham balls with the glaze frequently. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the ham balls with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and roasted vegetables are all great options.
