Ham Loaf with Apple Glaze (Page 49)

1 1/2 lbs. ham ground in a food processor      

          

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 lb. mild pork sausage (Bob Evan's)         

             

 1 tsp. curry powder

1/4 c. brown sugar, packed      

                                   

1/8 tsp. cayenne powder

1/2 c. unsweetened  applesauce                                                   

1/8 tsp. paprika

2 eggs      

                                                                    

1/4 c. milk

1 small onion, chopped    

                                          

1 c. apple jelly

2 ribs celery, chopped 

                                            

1/4 c. cider vinegar

1 small green pepper, chopped

                               

1 tsp. yellow mustard

2 c. dry bread crumbs

                                            

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 2 loaf pans. Mix next 14 ingredients well.
Shape into 2 loaves and place in the pan. Bake 45 minutes. While loaves are baking,
combine jelly, vinegar, mustard and pepper in a small saucepan. Heat until jelly has
smoothed. Remove from heat. Remove from oven and carefully drain fat. Pour glaze
over ham loaves. Bake an additional 30 minutes, with basting juices. Let it sit 15
minutes before serving.
Note: Great use for leftover ham. It makes 2 loaves. Freezes very well. I just make
extra glaze for the thawed, baked loaf. Mom asks for this when I ask her what she
wants for dinner ("but go easy on the cayenne pepper"). Another family favorite. Also
makes an awesome leftover sandwich with mustard.
