\u00a0So my Mom, never one to waste food, made this recipe. \u00a0She used a hand-cranked meat grinder and mixed up a huge batch of this stuff. \u00a0It&#8217;s great on crackers, between two slices of bread, or just with a fork. \u00a0Low brow? \u00a0Yes, but definitely worth a try (especially if you have leftover holiday ham)!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Ham Pate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 pound ham<\/li>\n<li>1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, drained<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup mayonnaise<\/li>\n<li>4 to 6 ounces whipped cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>3 teaspoons prepared horseradish<\/li>\n<li>4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish<\/li>\n<li>squeeze of lemon<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Blend the ham in a food processor until broken down a lot. \u00a0Blend in all of the other ingredients. \u00a0Taste for seasoning. \u00a0You may want to add more pickle relish, if you like it sweeter, or more lemon and salt if you like it more savory. \u00a0You can also add plain yogurt if you like it creamier. \u00a0Eat it on a fork, spoon it on a cracker, and adjust to suit your tastes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Explore, experiment, enjoy!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Dana<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To view even more of Dana\u2019s unique recipe, you can visit her at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/frugalgirlmet.blogspot.com\/\">Frugal Girlmet<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some things that you eat as a child that will always be welcome on your plate. \u00a0For instance, I love the green bean casserole &#8211; you know, that one with cream of mushroom soup and french-fried onions?
