Grace’s Glazed Ham Loaf

I love this dish!  Yum!!!  Sometimes it’s hard to plan a meal and think of something different that all your family will enjoy.  This is a succulent entrée that will impress your family and friends.  It is excellent any time of year and is a perfect meat for company that is a little out of the ordinary. 

Grace, Mom’s friend, gave her this excellent recipe and it is a keeper, for sure.  The ham and pork mixture is moist and full of flavor and the tangy brown sugar glaze is the key.  You can grind your own ham or ask your butcher to do it for you like I do.  

It is a hearty traditional German recipe with a mixture of old-world flavors that will please your family and friends.  It would be so good served with a salad, mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus or even corn bread.
