Lucy's Ham Spread

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!

INGRIDIENT

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

DIRECTION

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.

Step: 2

Place ham into a food processor and pulse several times to grind the meat to your desired texture.
