PINEAPPLE HAM LOAF



Pineapple Ham Loaf image

I "inherited" this recipe from the family that owned the building where I rented my first apartment. It's one of my favorites and very easy to prepare. It's great for company because you can mix the loaf in advance, then simply pour on the sauce before putting it in the oven...it's the sauce that makes it so good!

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the ham and pineapple.
  • Be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the loaf mixture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ham and pineapple by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely.
  • You can use any type of bread crumbs you like in this recipe. I used plain bread crumbs, but you could also use seasoned bread crumbs or even cracker crumbs.
  • Be sure to press the loaf mixture firmly into the loaf pan before baking. This will help to keep the loaf from falling apart.
  • Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes, or until it is cooked through. You can check to see if the loaf is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the loaf is done.
  • Let the loaf cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This pineapple ham loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham.
