MOM'S DEVILED HAM SPREAD
My mother is a member of a club that meets during the months of July
and August on Martha's Vineyard, where we have summered for more than
thirty-five years. One season the members compiled a souvenir cookbook,
and my mother contributed her recipe for a deviled ham spread that she
makes from leftover ham. Like deviled eggs, it's devilishly simple and
satanically good. It can be spread on pieces of celery or toast points.
Those who do not want to use ham can substitute smoked chicken or
smoked turkey.
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

1 1/2 cups minced cooked ham (about 6 ounces)
1/4 small habanero chili, or to taste, seeded and minced (wear rubber
gloves)
Worcestershire sauce to taste
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise


Accompaniment: celery boats and/or toast points

In a bowl stir together ham, chili, Worcestershire sauce, just enough
mayonnaise to bind ingredients, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill ham
spread, covered, overnight.

Serve spread with accompaniments.
