My Mom and I tried this recipe for the first time one year around Christmas-time. I believe it came from a Taste of Homes magazine. We fell in love with it, and it has since become a holiday tradition in my home. We serve it with French Style Green Beans, Homemade Rolls, and finish off with a Lemon Poppy Seed Cake for dessert.
Ham Cups:
1 egg
1/1/2 C. unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
1 Lb. fully cooked ham (finely chopped, or ground)
1/2 Lb. ground pork
1/4 C. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. mustard
Cherry Sauce
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 C. sugar
1 can (16 oz) pitted red cherries, undrained
In a bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, and ground mustard. Add ham and pork; mix well. Shape into 8 equal portions; pat lightly into muffin cups. Combine brown sugar and prepared mustard; sprinkle over cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until no longer pink.
For sauce, combine cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan. Add cherries; cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Serve over ham cups. Yield: 6 servings
