Christmas Ham Balls

Submitted by I_Cook_For_Firemen

"My mom started making this dish at Christmas years ago and it's a hit every time. The sweet and savory combination is wonderful. Tip: When you go to the deli to get the meat, have them grind the two types together so you don't have to go the trouble of having to mix them together when you get home!"
