I was never really big on Spam but this stuff is fantastic. Makes two big loaves and freezes well. Just wait for pork shoulder to go on sale and have at it?

  2. 2

    Cut your pork shoulder into cubes; removing the bone and trimming away enough fat to roughly get a 20/80 fat to lean ratio. Place the pork cubes and fat in the freezer for 1 hour and then grind using a #10 grinder plate and set aside.

  5. 5

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Tender Quick, sugar, potato starch, kosher salt, allspice, and cold water. Mix well until everything makes a slurry. Add to the ground meats and mix well to incorporate by hand. The meat should reassemble a thick paste.

  6. 6

    Divide the meat mixture between two 9.5"x5" loaf pans and press firmly to remove any air bubbles, dropping a couple time on the counter.

  9. 9

    Some different ways I use my Spam is in a spicy udon bowl, fried spam next to eggs in a basket for breaky. It also freezes really well for long term use.
