Ham Balls - Comfort food to the Max

This is a recipe from my childhood. Both my aunt and my Mom made these ham balls whenever they were serving a crowd. The recipe makes 32 ham balls that are about 2.5-3.0 ounces each. Two ham balls makes a very generous serving. My brother has been making this recipe lately and says it is as popular as ever. Scalloped potatoes and a green vegetable make excellent sides to go with the ham balls. Believe me, these ham balls are comfort food to the max!
