Deviled Ham Spread

By Lorraine

Deviled Ham Spread is a great filling and delicious on crackers. Use leftover holiday ham to make appetizers for snacking or lunch time sandwiches.Being frugal, I try to get lots of mileage from every meal I cook. After the baked ham for Easter, I made ham lentil soup and then simmered the bone for stock. Then I thought I would see if I could find something different and searched for a recipe for Deviled Ham Spread.
 
 
Deviled Ham Spread is a great filling and delicious on crackers. Use leftover holiday ham to make appetizers for snacking or lunch time sandwiches. I have never had Deviled Ham before so not sure what it should taste like but we liked this a lot.  I read through a few recipes that I found and came up with a tasty spread.  Good for a sandwich but especially yummy spread on a cracker.  Now I’m thinking a Friday Night Date-night with my sweetheart, with fancy crackers, assortment of cheeses, some grapes and apple slices with a glass of wine.
 

Add whatever you’d like to your Deviled Ham

Like many recipes, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of ways to make deviled ham. The cook’s preferences are the sole determining factors on exactly what goes into their individual deviled ham recipes. Most recipes for deviled ham include diced, baked, or canned ham as a base; many cooks feel that a well-baked ham makes a better deviled ham. The recipe then calls for spices to make the ham deviled such as scallions or green onions, sour cream, hot mustard, tarragon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and hot sauce; some cooks also add celery for extra crunch. Once enough ham, scallions, and sour cream have been mixed together to create a good texture, the rest of the ingredients are added according to taste.
 
Garlic and other herbs, such as oregano or thyme, might be substituted for the tarragon, depending on the flavor the cook is aiming for; some herbs will made the final product more or less spicy. Horseradish added to dry sherry or white wine is another popular add-in. Some cooks might even process the ham through a meat grinder for a smoother result — perhaps more suitable for sandwiches or crackers. The one thing most recipes agree on is that the deviled ham should be refrigerated for a few hours before it is eaten; this allows the flavors time to blend together. source

    This is the first time I've heard of homemade deviled ham! When I was a kid I used to love Underwood Deviled Ham in a can. (Can you believe it? Canned meats were a big thing when I was a child!)

    This looks delicious! Thanks for the sharing the recipe and the tips. Thanks so much for joining Grace at Home! I really appreciate it.

    Hi Lorraine, thanks for visiting my blog and choosing my Pinchitos Muronos to make for your spanish friends meal.

    These are traditionally made with pork if you want to be truly authentic, I just prefer chicken for these.

    Your ham recipes sounds delish, I've never had this, maybe I need to buy a joint now.

    BTW You are welcome to join in my monthly food blogger event THE SOUP KITCHEN, here all bloggers are welcome, hope to see you participate soon. Different theme each month.

    My hubby loves deviled ham. This is pretty similar to the recipe I use. I will add the horseradish next time I make it. It's funny- I have a ham/potato soup simmering in the crockpot today. Yum- xo Diana

    Oh Loraine this looks just delicious! I too have leftover ham and this I'm going to make. We'd love it on crackers.

    I'm so far behind in reading my email blog posts from others so I'm sure I've missed alot. Have been overwhelmed with Easter activities and visiting family that I'm not caught up in posting on my own blog. Oh how the time can get away from us.

    Thanks for your comments and support. I truly appreciate it.

    I haven't had this for ages! My mum used to do this whenever we had a ham and then we'd have the best school lunch sandwiches!
    Like you, I use the entire ham, and we enjoy it in all its incarnations – now I'll just add this one.

    Yes, the photos are great and just reading about this makes my mouth water and takes me right back to my mother's kitchen. She did this with leftovers. She used one of those old fashioned meat grinders that you hook on the edge of a countertop … I can just see the minced ham coming out. It must have been fun to watch. She usually made party sandwiches with her deviled ham.
    Memories!
