Since my guy has arthritis issues he follows a gout diet. We eat pork and chicken. A lot. When searching for ways to use leftover ham I found this recipe: Ham Balls in Peach Halves (https://www.thriftyfun.com/tf13843942.tip.html. ) I’m not big on ham, but I could eat these 2-4 times a month. We just use our grinder attachment for the Kitchen Aide to grind the ham and pork together unless we find good looking ground pork at the grocers’. One third of the recipe makes 7 meatballs, if you use an ice cream scoop.
They sound really good!!
