Crimson-Glazed Ham Balls and Smokies
Ingredients
  • 1
    egg, beaten
  • 1/2
    cup finely crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4
    cup finely chopped onion
  • 2
    tablespoons snipped dried cranberries
  • 2
    tablespoons milk
  • Dash ground cloves
  • 8
    ounces ground pork
  • 8
    ounces ground cooked ham
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1
    16 ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1
    12 ounce bottle chili sauce
  • 1
    tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/2
    teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1
    16 ounce package small fully cooked smoked sausage links
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. For meatballs, in a large mixing bowl combine the egg, crushed graham crackers, onion, cranberries, milk, and cloves. Add ground pork and ham. Shape into 50 meatballs.

2. Lightly coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place meatballs in pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Drain meatballs.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan stir together the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and dry mustard. Cook over medium heat until cranberry sauce is melted, stirring occasionally.

4. In a 3-1/2- to 5-quart crockery cooker combine the baked meatballs and smoked sausage links. Pour sauce over meatballs and links. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2 to 3 hours. Serve immediately or keep warm on low-heat setting for up to 2 hours. Serve with toothpicks. Makes 25 appetizer servings.

Ok I like the recipe but cooking 2 - 3 hrs is a bit too long to cook precooked meat
