This is a recipe from my mother in law, Mary. She loved cookbooks and to try new things, but this is a tried and true recipe. My family likes to have this instead of turkey at family dinners. I serve this with Party Potatoes.

How To Make ham loaf

  • 1
    Have the butcher grind the ham and the pork. Mix well: ground ham, ground pork, cracker meal,eggs and 1 small can pineapple juice. (I have not been able to find Nabisco cracker meal. I tried crushing soda crackers and then had inspiration and tried the shake and Bake mixture for Pork and it tasted fine.)
  • 2
    Make into loaf. Pour topping mixture over loaf. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hr. May take longer. It should have a nice color. Baste with topping as it cooks as it makes it much tastier.
  • 3
    To serve, I cut it into pieces and cut the loaf down the center.
  • 4
    Can make into individual loaves which take less time to bake.
