This was just "okay". I liked the flavor, but it didn't hold together very well at all. If fell apart every time I sliced it. We ate it on sandwiches and that was better. I guess it was more like a ham salad. I don't think I'll be making this again. My hubby is from Lancaster and has had the "real thing". He thought it was good, but not great.

I loved it, but the prep time was long for me - the butcher would not grind my ham for me!!! I ended up grinding it up in my blender. It came out finer than I had hoped, but it mixed well with the sausages. No salt needed in this recipe, the ham has plenty. I ran out of glaze and will make more of it tonight when I get home. This ham loaf is a keeper!

Very yummy. I have made ham loaves for a long time, but was in the mood for something different. I had froze some ham from our Easter dinner and decieded to try your recipe. It was delicious. I loved the addition of the spices and the sauce with the cider vinegar was ourstanding. I don't make ham loaves very often but when I do I will be reaching for this recipe. Also, it made tasty sandwiches the next day......Stephanie
