Church Supper Ham Loaf
Makes 8-10 servings

Ingredients
For the ham loaf:
1 pound ground ham
1 pound lean pork sausage
2 cups soft bread crumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon paprika

For the basting sauce:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper


Directions
Heat oven to 350F and oil a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish.

In large bowl, gently combine all ham loaf ingredients. Form into a loaf; place in prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all ingredients for basting sauce; bring to a boil, then set aside. After 45 minutes, remove ham loaf from oven and drain any drippings from the baking dish. Pour basting sauce over ham loaf and return to oven. Continue baking ham loaf, basting occasionally with pan juices, for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Some good spicing there. Tell me about ground ham. To me, ham implies its already cooked but I think here it means raw?

Nope, already cooked. Either the deli will grind it for you or you can do it yourself at home. I did it in the food processor.
