Pressure Cooker Cherry Bourbon Ham Balls

Here is a recipe for making Cherry Bourbon Ham Balls in a pressure cooker:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground ham
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup milk

For the glaze:

• 1 cup cherry preserves
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground ham, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Heat the pressure cooker on the sauté setting and add a little oil to the bottom of the pot. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cherry preserves, bourbon, brown sugar, and soy sauce until smooth. Pour the mixture over the meatballs in the pressure cooker.
5. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
6. Once the cooking time is up, release the pressure manually by turning the release valve to the venting position.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the glaze in the pressure cooker and cook on the sauté setting for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens.
8. Serve the Cherry Bourbon Ham Balls hot, garnished with fresh herbs or chopped green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
