Deviled Ham

[whitey]

Anybody know how to made deviled ham? I love that stuff from Underwood. Been eating it since I was a kid. I am sure it is not the best food to be eating ,so maybe make it with healthier ingredients. Any ideas?

We always have a can or two around here of the little paper wrapped cans for my quick snacks. Great in a sammy or crackers!!

I would just chop some Ham up pretty good, and stir in Mayo or MW. You can add any spices and/or seasonings you like too.

Yea, Bear I thought about that. And maybe all the more I eat, just buy it. But I like to tinker.That stuff has some kind of spice that has a little hot after taste ,I just can't put my finger on it.

Homemade Deviled Ham
Ingredients
1 pound smoked ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Franks Hot)
1 teaspoon horshradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Salt
Pepper

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.


Here is one that we use once in a while as well, its Gammy Browns version. Pretty good, though I prefer ours which is a mod of food networks

Gammy Brown's Deviled Ham from 'The Great Meat Cookbook'
Yield: serves 6 to 12
Active time: 25 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped shallots
2 1/2 cups 1/2-inch-diced leftover ham
1/2 cup finely chopped celery, including leafy tops
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, or more to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or more to taste
1/3 cup mayonnaise, or more if needed
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles, sweet pickles, or cornichons (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Put the ham into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to the bowl with the shallots. Add the celery, parsley, horseradish, mustard, mayonnaise, pickles (if using), and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Taste for seasonings. Add more horseradish, mustard, and/or pepper to taste and add more mayonnaise if the mixture seems too dry.
Pack the deviled ham into an attractive crock or serving bowl and serve at room temperature. (Or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.)

Hmm is it just my memory being weird..or did I detect some coriander in the original Underwood??

List of ingredients on their site...

Ham (cured with water, salt, brown sugar, sodium nitrite) and seasoning (mustard flour, spices, turmeric).

I see they have a buffalo chicken one now too. That could be the perfect afternoon snack for the boy!

They have a roast beef spread...growing up we used to have roast beef salad. I've never met any other family that has done this. Mom used to cook our Sunday pot roast with what ever roast was on sale...all of them done in the oven as a braise...for hours...didn't matter what kind of meat, but I don't think she ever did a chuck until I convinced her to try it.

Our roast were cooked way past well done, thank God for gravy!! Occasionally if one was particularly over killed, she would run through the old hand grinder, add MW, s&p, and sliced green olives. Put that on some toasted white bread! Looked forward to opened my Jonathan Livingston Seagull lunch bucket on Monday at school, seeing that wax paper wrapped sandwich in there and digging in to roast beef salad sandwich. Much better than taking a bite of sandwich, slice of meat coming out from bread, grabbing said slice with fingers and ripping the hunk off that was in my mouth, opening bread back up and replacing the slice, only to repeat procedure until slice was gone! Perhaps where I gained my affection for MW sandwiches!!!

Sorry, went off topic there... back you Underwood!!

Used to make ham spread at a meat market I worked at many many years ago. We would take all the scraps from all the cold meat, the ends of the rolls mainly, bologna, salami, ham, etc, run them through the meat grinder, add sweet relish and mayo. Stuff sold like crazy.

But that's ham salad. Mom used to make it. It was ok. Deviled ham is different. More like a pate. Can't help with a recipe. Never cared for it.
