This is one of my favorite recipes. My Mom, Lucy Wahnsiedler, used to make this when I was a kid. I love the flavor of the spread, and it is marvelous for making sandwiches or for spreading on crackers. It is simply delicious!
Ingredients:
3 pounds smoked ham, cut into chunks
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 pound processed cheese food (such as velveeta®), cubed
Directions:
1. Place ham into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and boil ham gently for 15 minutes. Drain and allow ham to cool.
2. Place ham into a food processor and pulse several times to grind the meat to your desired texture.
3. Stir tomato sauce, tapioca, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a large saucepan over low heat; melt cheese food in the tomato sauce mixture and stir all ingredients smoothly together. Do not allow to simmer.
4. Combine melted cheese food mixture with ground ham in a large bowl; stir thoroughly. Chill before serving.
