Main CourseHow To Make A Delicious Farmers Ham Loaf
Combining ground ham and lean ground pork into a ham loaf makes a very tasty treat. One of my late aunts used to make delicious ham loaf and this recipe is pretty close to what she made. She was a delightful aunt who could turn any kind of leftovers into a delicious meal and this is how her ham loaf came to be. This recipe has a sweet and sour sauce that only adds to the delicious flavor of this loaf. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of Splenda brown sugar blend which makes it suitable for diabetics. If you don"t need to watch your sugar intake, you can use 1 cup of brown sugar instead. This is an updated version of an old, old recipe. This recipe is very suitable for diabetics, too.
