- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise, preferably Duke’s
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 3 ounces pimentos from the jar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1 kosher dill pickle, diced

Instructions
- Place cream cheese, mayonnaise, celery, pimentos and onion in a food processor and pulse 4 or 5 times.
- Use a grinder or pulse ham in a food processor until minced; add to a lidded storage bowl. Grind or mince the pickles and add to the ham.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the remaining ingredients with the mayo mixture, until well blended. Pour over the ham mixture; mix well, taste and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate for several hours until needed; overnight is even better.
- Spread on crust-less white bread for finger sandwiches or scoop onto a plate alongside celery and carrot sticks, and serve with pickle spears and crackers.
