Moms Deviled Ham Spread Recipe

	Snufflebunny15 / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago Mom has a collection of Gourmet magazines that rival my Dad's collection of National Geographic, I think. It must be 14 years worth of saved magazines. I'll admit she has fun looking through them. This is one of her favorite recipes and mine too. Prep:15m Cook:1600m Servings:4	Snufflebunn

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups minced cooked ham (about 6 ounces)

1/4 small habanero chili, or to taste, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)

Worcestershire sauce to taste

2 tsp of sweet relish (mom's addition)

1 tsp of honey (mom's addition)

2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Accompaniment: celery boats and/or toast points

Directions

In a bowl stir together ham, chili, Worcestershire sauce, just enough mayonnaise to bind ingredients, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill ham spread, covered, overnight.

Serve spread with accompaniments.

Mom added the sweet to counteract the hot and to give a little sweet salty flavor to the spread. I eat it on sandwiches, but it is best in celery. The crunch is wonderful.
