Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 pound ground fully cooked ham
  • 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened sliced pineapple
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

  • In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Crumble ham over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and reserved juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in butter and lemon juice.
  • Brush over ham loaf; top with three pineapple slices. (Save remaining pineapple for another use.) Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
