Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place ham in food processor and grind for approximately one minute (or use a meat grinder). Put the ground meat in a large mixing bowl.
Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Then in the large bowl combine eggs, bread crumbs, milk, pepper and dry seasoning blend with the ground ham and mix well.
Shape the ham loaf mixture into a roughly 8 x 4" oval and place into a shallow baking dish or loaf pan.
Bake the large loaf uncovered for 25 minutes.
Combine glaze ingredients and spoon glaze over loaf.
Place loaf back into oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, basting occasionally with the glaze.
Remove loaf from the oven and allow to cool a bit before putting on serving platter and slicing.
