Texas Sandwich Spread

Who wants to cook in triple-digit weather? It’s been so hot here, even the outdoor grill puts out too much heat to bear up under.

On hot, humid summer days, a cold lunch is the best lunch. Texas Pepper Jelly’s sandwich spread is delicious, easy, economical, and nutritious. Why not mix some up, spread it on bread or dip raw veggies into it, slice a peach, brew some ice cold tea, and have the perfect summer meal?

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups minced cooked ham
1/4 cup Texas Rib Candy (any flavor)
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
Worcestershire sauce to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon)
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (Start small and add until it’s the consistency you want)

What to do:

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and put it in the refrigerator. When the mixture is cold, spread it on bread, or dip your garden produce in it.

I like to mix some hard grated cheese in mine, but my kids prefer it without.
