Notes

The ground ham makes a big difference in the final product so it is worth the extra step. I use honey ham from the deli or the prepackaged honey ham and pulse it in the food processor. You can also ask the butcher at the store to grind a ham steak from the meat department. You can freeze any leftover ground ham for an upcoming meatball recipe.
