Yes, this is the REAL DEAL, folks - this is the super great-tasting ham salad spread that you used to be able to buy at the mom and pop stores back in the '50s and '60s. It makes a lot but it will go fast. I could eat these ham salad sandwiches on sesame-seed buns with a little lettuce every day of the week. Don't use cheap bologna in this recipe or you'll be disappointed - I like to use Kahn's Club Bologna. Also, you'll need some sort of meat grinder to make this - a food processor does NOT yield a good consistency. I use my Kitchen-Aide Grinder attachment. Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 lbs ham, fully cooked |
1/2 lb bologna |
1/2 lb american cheese |
3 cups sweet pickles, drained and chopped |
32 ounces mayonnaise |
2 ounces pimientos, from a jar, drained |
2 tablespoons karo syrup, clear corn syrup |
2 celery ribs, ribs peeled to remove strings |
Directions:
1. Run all ingredients, except mayonnaise and Karo syrup, through a meat grinder. Add the mayonnaise and Karo syrup to the blend and mix with a spoon until ingredients are uniformly incorporated. Refrigerate.
2. Serve cold on fresh buns or bread along with leaf lettuce.
