Great make ahead dish. I am talking about the prep of the ham balls. I added garlic and white pepper to the meat mixture. Refrigerated overnight. Then baked with scalloped potatoes with a plain white sauce. Used the same temp for both. I did not pour all of the sauce over the ham balls but used half, then basted the other half midway through cooking. I also made a slurry of 1 tsp cornstarch and 3 tsps water and added to the sauce before cooking on the stovetop. Makes the glaze sauce shiny and it sticks to the ham balls instead of running off into the pan. Great Dish!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Thirty some years ago, mom published the first Hawman Family Cookbook to give each of her three daughters a way to carry our favorite recipes from childhood off into the next phase of our lives. I still have the original pages, straight from the typewriter, with traces of whited-out type showing through the corrected lines, and with drips and grease stains highlighting my favorite recipes.
With my own daughter now ready to head out on her own, it's time for an updated version complete with her favorites as well. I'm starting this project in January 2010, with a goal of completing the "new expanded edition" in time for Christmas presents in December. I'll be using Recipezaar to collect the recipes, but my hope is to publish my final book complete with the stories and pictures evoked by this memory book of family food. For that, I'm looking forward to countless conversations with my 81-year-old mother, sisters, and children as well as others in my extended family. Let the fun begin!
