How To Make glazed ham ball appetizers
-
1Preheat oven to 350^. Spray or grease 2 jelly roll pans. Set aside. Mix together meats, bread crumbs, milk, spices, sugar, whiskey and egg,until well mixed. Shape into the size balls you like, from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch..depends on how you want to use them. I like the smaller size for appetizers.
-
2Place meatballs on a greased or sprayed jelly roll or sheet pan with sides; do not crowd. Bake for 30 minutes (remove accumulated grease with a kitchen baster) and then spoon a little glaze over each meatball; and bake for 30 more minutes or less depending on size of meatballs; be sure to baste meatballs often adding more glaze as needed.
-
3Place fisished meatball in a serving bowl and pour any remaing glaze over them. Have plenty of round wooden toothpicks on hand.
-
4GLAZE: Combine water and cornstarch, stir to blend. Combine all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; stir in cornstarch mixture; cook and stir 1 minute or until glaze has thickened .
