STATE FAIR HAM LOAF

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. cured ham, finely chopped
⅓ cup plain bread crumbs
¼ cup buttermilk
3 ½ tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. ground sage
½ tsp. curry powder
½ tsp. ground allspice
½ tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. ground cloves
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 small yellow onion, minced
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 325°. Place ham, bread crumbs, buttermilk, 2 tbsp. mustard, sage, curry, allspice, ginger, cloves, eggs, onion, and salt and pepper in a bowl, and mix until well-combined. Transfer to a parchment paper—lined 8″ x 5″ loaf pan; smooth top. Heat remaining mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Pour half the glaze over ham loaf; bake until loaf is cooked through, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan; drizzle with remaining glaze before serving.
