Ingredients

THIS HAM LOAF CAN BE MADE WITHOUT THE PINEAPPLE. BUT MAKE SURE YOU GLAZE WITH SAUCE
1 lb ground ham
1 lb ground pork
3/4 tsp each - salt & pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs
4 slice fresh wheat or white bread crumbs - or 2 cups worth
1/2 c milk
1 medium onion, minced
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 - 1/2 CUP DRAINED CRUSHED PINEAPPLE FOR THE TOP
BASTING SAUCE
1/4 c vinegar
1/2 c brown sygar
1/4 c pineapple juice
1 Tbsp dry mustard

Steps:

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then cool. It will thicken some as it cools.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease a baking dish or small roaster. In a large bowl, mix all ham loaf ingredients until thoroughly blended.
3. Pour out meat mixture into prepared baking dish and shape into a loaf as you would a meatloaf. Brush the top of loaf with glaze. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, glazing several times during baking process.
4. Remove from oven. sprinkle on the pineapple if using and drizzle with glaze. Place back into oven for another 10 - 15 minutes. I broiled the last 5 minutes.
5. Place onto a serving platter and slice. Serve with remaining glaze.

Tips:

For a smoky flavor, use smoked ham instead of regular ham.
If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
To make the glaze, you can use any type of fruit preserves or jelly. Apricot preserves, orange marmalade, and cherry preserves are all good choices.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use white sugar instead.
Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the ham loaf. This will help it cook evenly.
Let the ham loaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Pineapple glazed ham loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ham, and it is also a budget-friendly meal.
