Very unusual and very tasty burger! I had a bit of trouble getting the ham patties to stick together while grilling so might try to add some kind of binder next time. I was surprised at the addition of the basil to this but WOW it was terrific and for me what made these great. Both in the dressing mix and on top with the pineapple, the basil was the perfect compliment to the ham. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
