Church Supper Ham Loaf

Jamie made this Ham Loaf one year for me when he invited our family, Mom and Pops, and Mary up for a surprise birthday supper when I came home from work. He went in the morning to get all of the ingredients and prepared a whole meal himself. I've liked the recipe that he found on the internet and made it ever since. It was a really nice birthday present!

1 lb. ground ham

1 lb. lean pork sausage

2 cups soft bread crumbs

2 eggs beaten

1 cup sour cream

1/3 cup chopped onion

2 T. lemon juice

1 t. curry powder

1 t. dry mustard

1 t. ginger

1/8 t. nutmeg

1/8 t. paprika

Basting Sauce:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/8 t. black pepper

In large mixing bowl gently combine all ham loaf ingredients. Form into a load, place in shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Then in small saucepan combine all ingredients for basting sauce, bring to a boil. Immediately drain any dripping from ham loaf and pour basting sauce over ham loaf. Continue baking ham loaf, basting occasionally with pan juices for 15-30 minutes or until browned. Serves 8.
