Notes

FRIDGE: Transfer these easy ham balls into an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4-5 days.
FREEZER: Place leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
To reheat, place in the oven or on the stovetop with any leftover glaze and heat to a safe internal temperature. You can also reheat in the microwave, but it could make the texture a little chewy.
