Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground ham
- 500 g ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces large egg
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground ham, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to shape it into a smooth, even loaf.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and ketchup. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the ham loaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the ham loaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze on top.
Return the ham loaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the ham loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
