OK, I was busy last night and didn't get our recipe.  However, I found this one and it's pretty dang close.  This shows them being served with rice but around here they are usually served with cheesy potatoes.

Ingredients

For The Meatballs
  • 2 pounds leftover ham , rough chopped
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  •  



For The Glaze
  • 3 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons ground mustard powder





Directions



 



  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat (2) 9x13 baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place the ham and ground pork in the bowl of a food processor (if yours is small, you might need to do this is two batches.) Pulse until it resembles hamburger meat.
  3. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and combine with the eggs, milk, and breadcrumbs.
  4. Using a tablespoon sized cookie scoop, form into 1-inch meatballs. Arrange the meatballs in the baking pans; set aside.
  5. In a medium saucepan, whisk together all the glaze ingredients over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Pour the glaze over the ham balls, dividing it between the two baking dishes.
  7. Place in the preheated oven and cook, uncovered, for about 75-80 minutes, until the ham balls have browned and the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency.
  8. Serve over rice, in a stir fry, cut in half on pizza, or all on their own as an appetizer.
