Ham and Pickle Pinwheels
This has been made as a family favorite at every holiday gathering since I was a kid. It's a quick and easy make ahead recipe that can be easily finished up right before serving. You really do want to try to use rectangular ham slices. If you can't find any, at least use a thicker cut brand. Thin, or shaved, slices won't hold up as well.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Set out cream cheese to soften to room temperature (I usually leave out a few hours). When you're ready to make, cut each 8 oz block into 8 equal squares.

At least 30 minutes in advance: To absorb excess moisture. Line pickles in a single layer, a couple inches apart on a small stack of paper towels. Place a few more paper towels on top, press gently. Place two slices of ham side by side on another stack of paper towels, place a layer of paper towels on top, followed by two more slices of ham. Repeat process until all ham is layered between paper towels.
- 3
Working one at a time place a slice of ham on a cutting board or plate. Using a butter knife or off-set spatula, spread the cream cheese evenly over the slice of ham. Begin at one end working toward the other end, leaving about 1/4 in. cream cheese free to accommodate spreading as you roll.
- 4
Place a pickle across the width of the cream cheese covered ham at the end where cream cheese meets the edge. Roll up semi-tightly, careful to not squeeze cream cheese out the edges or rip ham. Repeat process until all 16 are rolled.
- 5
Stack rollups on a plate as you finish each one. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours, or up to over night, to set.
- 6
Just before serving, remove from refrigerator, cut each rollup into 1/2 in. slices to make your pinwheels. Layer on a serving platter. Serve, eat, enjoy and watch them disappear!

Cajun turkey pinwheels Cajun turkey pinwheels
Easy lunch for bento boxes or a regular lunch container. I went light on my shredded cheese for this. Use the desire amount of all ingredients.Something different other than sandwiches. All ingredients came from walmart I also add pictures of the ingredients at the end so you know what the look like in the store to find them easier. The meat came from the deli area that’s already been made up, and was pricey but worth it don’t skip it , it really makes theses pinwheels great.I only use one slice of lunch meat per wrap and ripped it up, because I wanted to make alot of them for the week, for several lunches. You can use as much as you want.

Most people I know of in the south make this recipe by soaking the pickles in buttermilk before dredging. That method takes out the bite of the dill pickles and makes them not so sour. So if youre not real fond of pickles but want to try this recipe, that would be the way to go.I used a homeade beer batter that flufs up a bit when you cook them and tastes really light and airy for being fried. However you choose to make these, this southern staple is a must have for pickle lovers! :-)
