HAM BALLS SAUCE Ham balls: Preheat oven to 350øF. Combine all ingredients and shape into 1-inch balls. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake about 20 minutes, or until browned. Sauce: In sauce pan, combine brown sugar, flour and mustard, mixing well. Add punch and vinegar and mix well. Add cloves and corn syrup. Over medium heat cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and becomes clear. In chafing dish or crock pot, place ham balls and pour sauce over. Serve with toothpicks. The ham recipe can be shaped into a loaf and served as a main course with the sauce placed over the loaf about 15 minutes before it has finished cooking (1 hour at 350øF) with extra sauce on the side. This has been a family favorite for years. (By Léon Brocard / Last updated January 2007)
