Served slices of hamloaf

Ham loaf or hamloaf is a baked meat dish, similar to meatloaf, made of ground ham and ground pork and combined with other ingredients to form a loaf like shape.[1] Distinct in color and taste from meatloaf, hamloaf is often baked with a sweet glaze, often consisting of brown sugar, molasses, pineapples, or cherries. In Pennsylvania, hamloaf is sometimes served with a sauce consisting of vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar.[2] Eggs, milk, often evaporated, and some type of filling ingredient, bread or cracker crumbs, are used to create the loaf form.[3]

Attributed as a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, hamloaf is eaten throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and many other midwest states and is often served on special occasions, including Easter.
