Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground smoked ham, ground pork, eggs, and bread crumbs. Mix until just combined, adding more bread crumbs, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together without being too dense. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the mixture to a standard loaf pan. Gently pat the top to even it out. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). (75 minutes)

05

Step

While the loaf is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce until smooth. (3 minutes)

06

Step

During the last 15 minutes of baking, remove the loaf from the oven and evenly spread the glaze over the top. Return to the oven and continue baking until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Let the ham loaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf. (10 minutes)

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a combination of smoked ham and bacon.
Feel free to experiment with the glaze! A touch of maple syrup or a dash of Worcestershire sauce can add complexity.
To prevent sticking, grease the loaf pan thoroughly before adding the ham loaf mixture.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.

    My loaf was a bit dry, so next time I will add a tablespoon or two of milk to the mixture.
