Deviled ham gets a spicy sweet kick from raspberry chipotle sauce. It makes a delightfully different appetizer as a dip or spread and goes together fast in the food processor. If you are unable to find raspberry chipotle sauce, you can make your own or simply use a mixture of raspberry jam and hot sauce.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound diced ham
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 6 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 2 Tablespoons raspberry chipotle sauce (seedless recommended or see Notes below)
• 1 Tablespoon sweet relish
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup chopped chives
• Chopped egg and grape tomatoes for garnish, optional
• Crackers of choice, toasted baguettes or melba toasts, etc.

Preparation:

Place ham in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse until the ham is finely chopped.

Add onion, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, raspberry chipotle sauce, relish, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Process until well-combined and almost smooth. Remove to a bowl and stir in chives.

Refrigerate raspberry deviled ham spread at least 2 hours for flavors to meld. Garnish with optional chopped egg and cherry tomatoes. Serve with crackers, bread, or toasts.

Yield: about 2 cups
