How to Make Ham Balls With Hawaiian Punch Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Prepare Ham Balls:** In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground ham, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Place ham balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  5. **Prepare Hawaiian Punch Glaze:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 cup Hawaiian Punch (any flavor), 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 tablespoon corn syrup.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes clear and glossy (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Transfer the baked ham balls to a chafing dish, slow cooker, or a large serving bowl.
  9. Pour the Hawaiian Punch glaze generously over the ham balls, ensuring they are well coated.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
