Hamballs for #SundaySupper

Today at Sunday Supper we are celebrating Meatballs.  This great theme was chosen by Sue of A Palatable Pastime.  I have lots of meatball recipes on my blog.  Chicken Meatballs in soup,  Bavarian Meatballs, Greek Meatballs, Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy, Salisbury Steak Meatballs, Swedish Meatballs, Teriyaki Meatballs, Shrimp Balls and  Lemongrass Pork Meatballs.

When I was going through my list so I wouldn't duplicate a recipe I noted that I have never shared my Spaghetti and Meatballs or my Sweet and Sour Cocktail Meatballs.  I will be rectifying that very soon but not today.  Today I am sharing with you a recipe that will come in very handy this month when you are trying to figure out what to do with all of your leftover Easter Ham.  Today I am sharing with you Ham Balls served up with a liquor infused sauce.  You're welcome.

I adapted this recipe from one found in Cuisine at Home.  My adaptation has a 1/2 lb. more meat because I ground my own pork using a pound of stew meat that was already in my freezer.  I left the other measurements the same.  The main adaptation was that the original recipe had a Bourbon sauce. We had received a bottle of Apple Cider Moonshine as a gift and I decided to use that instead of the Bourbon.  It was ahhhhhhmazing!!!  The Moonshine I got is homemade by a gentleman who lives locally.  I don't know if you will be able to find any where you live but you should be able to find something similar or you can just use equal amounts of Bourbon.
