Spam I Am Home Made Spam Food

HOMEMADE SPAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C).
• Grind the pork shoulder in a meat grinder, then set aside.
• Finely mince the ham with the garlic in a food processor.
• Add the pork shoulder, ham/garlic, and 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.
• Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for three hours. Make sure that the internal temperature of the Spam is 155 F (69 C).
• Remove from the oven, uncover the bread pan, and drain the fat into a jar or can to dispose of later.
• Cover the bread pan loosely with foil and place a heavy weight on top of the foil. (I put bricks in another bread pan and put that on top of the foiled Spam. You may need to get creative, but I'm sure you can find something in your house that will work.)
• Allow to cool, then place the weighed down Spam into the refrigerator and keep it there overnight.
• In the morning, your Spam will be ready to use however you choose to use it.

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

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.

SPAM ON THE GO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add luncheon meat, green onion and garlic and saute until light brown. Stir in cooked spaghetti , then stir in soy sauce, water, sesame oil and pepper. Mix all together, heat through and serve.

BAKED SPAM

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.
