SPAM, I AM... (HOME-MADE SPAM)



SPAM, I Am... (Home-Made SPAM) image

Okay... So none of us want to admit that we truly like SPAM. And there may be some who will never even try it. Then again, some may have never heard of it. This is a recipe I found some time ago while searching the web (although I have "tweaked" it a bit).. I was planning to make "SPAM Cupcakes" and didn't have a can of SPAM in the house. (YES... I said "SPAM Cupcakes"... they are not as gross as you may think. Give them a try sometime). Anyway, this recipe actually does work for making SPAM. I believe it is actually cheaper than buying a couple of cans, but it takes some time. And the nice thing is, you know exactly what ingredients are in the SPAM loaf (no preservatives). I hope you give it a try. Thanks for your consideration of this recipe and please feel free to give your honest opinion... as I am still "tweaking" this recipe. I've made this a couple of times now... and actually we like this as much as the canned. *Note: Prep time includes the 'overnight' refrigeration time.

Time P1DT3h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, cubed (Choose a piece that is pretty fatty)
3 ounces ham, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon morton's tender quick
1/2 teaspoon morton's tender quick

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Grind the pork shoulder in a meat grinder (Either use a tabletop meat grinder or a KitchenAid mixer with the meat grinder attachment. Set aside.
  • Finely mince the ham with the garlic in a food processor.
  • Dump the ground pork shoulder, minced ham / garlic mixture and the Tender Quick into a large bowl and mix by hand until fully combined.
  • Pack the meat mixture into a bread pan and cover with foil. Place the bread pan into a large baking dish filled 3/4 full with water. (Basically, a 'hot water bath').
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for three hours (the internal temperature of the SPAM loaf should reach 155* F).
  • Remove from the oven and uncover the bread pan (there will be a lot of grease, but do not worry.). Pour off all of the fat into a jar or can to dispose of later. *Note: This is a very important step, so DO NOT skip it. If you do, your loaf will be covered in a thick coat of gelatine.
  • Cover the bread pan loosely with foil and place a heavy weight on top of the foil. (You can use cold bricks wrapped in foil and put them in another bread pan and put that bread pan on the SPAM loaf).
  • Place the weighed down SPAM loaf into the refrigerator and keep it there overnight. In the morning, your SPAM will be ready to use however you choose to use it.
  • *Note: This homemade SPAM is not canned and does not contain preservatives, so it will not last forever. Keep it as long as you would keep ham.

BAKED SPAM

This was on the can itself many years ago. I am sending what I make now, there are obviously changes from the original. My children/grandchildren think that this is the only way to cook Spam!

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12 ounce) can Spam
2 teaspoons water (approx.)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 dash ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Place Spam on oven proof dish, glass is best.
  • Poke 5 - 7 holes in top of Spam. I use the end of a wooden spoon.
  • Mix remaining ingredients together. Spoon about 2 teaspoons on top and place in oven.
  • Bake about 30 minutes, pouring sauce on top every 10 minutes or so, until all sauce is gone.
  • I slice it thin and serve with parsley potatoes and peas.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your spam recipes. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables. Some popular vegetables to use with spam include onions, peppers, celery, carrots, and potatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Spam is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Try using spam in stir-fries, sandwiches, salads, and casseroles. You can also use spam to make breakfast dishes, such as omelets and breakfast sandwiches.
  • Cook spam thoroughly. Spam is a pre-cooked meat, but it is important to cook it thoroughly before eating it. This will help to kill any bacteria that may be present in the meat.
  • Serve spam with your favorite sides. Spam is a great main course, but it can also be served as a side dish. Some popular sides to serve with spam include rice, potatoes, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Spam is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great option for busy families who are looking for a quick and easy meal. With its unique flavor and texture, spam can add a touch of excitement to any dish. So next time you are looking for a new recipe, give spam a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
