Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Smoked Ham Spread.
Step 1
Start by placing the chunks of smoked ham into a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let the ham simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Once done, drain the ham and allow it to cool a bit.
Step 2
Next, transfer the cooled ham into a food processor. Pulse it several times until the meat reaches your desired texture—whether you like it finely ground or a bit chunkier, it’s all up to you!
Step 3
In a large saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, quick-cooking tapioca, ketchup, prepared mustard, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat this mixture over low heat, stirring gently until everything is well blended. Now, add the cubed processed cheese food to the saucepan and stir until it melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Be careful not to let it simmer; we want to keep it nice and smooth!
Step 4
Once the cheese mixture is ready, combine it with the ground ham in a large bowl. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring that the ham is evenly coated with the cheesy goodness. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the spread in the refrigerator before serving.
