This is another Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. Everyone loves this! You have to find a butcher or your local grocery who will grind the ham and pork for you Bigg's grocery will do it for you. I ask for the leanest pork and ham and ask them to mix it together.
They like to do a whole ham and pork loin so you might ask them if they will do less if you don't want to make extra. It amounts to about 8 lbs and I just adjust my recipe for that amount.
I get a large amount and make extra to freeze or give away. Well, here is the recipe. ENJOY!
