I COPIED this ham loaf recipe exactly the way Grandma has written it in her worn cookbook. The only difference today is that I can't get home-smoked ham like those Grandpa used to cure in his old-fashioned smokehouse. But that never matters to hungry folks at the table\u2014Grandma's recipe is a winner every time! \u2014Esther Mishler, Hollsopple, Pennsylvania

This retro recipe is said to have originated in Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch<\/a> communities when butchers turned leftover ham into loaves that families could purchase to glaze and bake at home. You could even add pineapple to the mix for extra sweetness or hot pepper jelly for a kick.\r\n\r\nIf you like the sound of this ham loaf recipe, don't miss our favorite vintage recipes from the '50s<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
