Homemade Spam
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?

Special equipment you will need. 2 bricks wrapped in aluminum foil. A meat grinder. 2 loaf pans. A casserole dish for the water bath.

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.

Next, grind the 1 pound of ham as well. Add the ground ham to the ground pork shoulder and mix well and evenly by hand.

Preheat oven to 250F

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.

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.
- 7
Tightly seal with aluminum foil and then place in a water bath, and then into the oven for 3 hours or until the loaves reach an internal temperature of 155F.
- 8
Remove from the oven and place a brick or other heavy object on top of each loaf and let cool overnight.

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.
