Source of Recipe
Buddy Cookbook
List of Ingredients
A chunk of ham from a left over baked ham,
or buy a Cure 81 ham
Sharp cheddar cheese
Proportions: 3 parts ham to 1 part cheese
Sweet pickle relish to taste
Dressing Mixture:
Mayonnaise
Grainy mustard (not yellow mustard)
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Recipe
Process ham in a food processor to a coarse chop and empty into a large mixing bowl. Process cheddar to the same consistency and empty into same mixing bowl. Combine until cheese is evenly distributed. Add some pickle relish, a few tablespoons at a time. Just enough to add the taste. Now comes the eyeballing. Plop some mayo on top of the mixture, swirl in some mustard, and grind some pepper on that. Swirl it all together until the mayo, mustard and pepper are combined. Then mix thoroughly into the ham and cheese. Best to do this twice then to over do it the first time.
