Christmas Eve Hamballs

1 pound of lean pork, coarsely ground
1 pound of lean ham, coarsely ground
2 eggs
2 cups of soft bread crumbs (white baker bread, broken up by hand, crusts and centers)
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of salt

GLAZE:

1/2 cup of cider vinegar
1/2 cup of water
1 1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of dry mustard
10 whole cloves

Glaze: Bring to a full, rapid boil.
Mix hamball ingredients together with hands. Form into 2 inch small egg size balls by squeezing tightly 4 times into shape. Place hamballs, side by side, in a glass/enamel baking dish. Pour the boiled glaze mixture over the hamballs, covering each one by spoon if necessary. Cover loosely with foil (don't seal edges around pan).
Bake at 350ºF. for 1 1/2 hours. 45 minutes on first side; turn each hamball over. Spoon glaze over hamballs again. Bake 45 minutes on second side. During the last 30 minutes, remove foil and periodically spoon glaze mixture over the hamballs. Serves 6-8 people, 6-10 hamballs/person. Traditionally served with German potato salad and baked beans.
