Linda's Ham Salad Sandwich (Sandwiches) or Finger Rolls

Linda's Busy Kitchen's Note:

These are a big hit around the holidays when having parties or having baby, graduation and wedding showers! This recipe uses left over ham from a smoked shoulder. The flavor is WONDERFUL, and so GOOD! This is a real treat! My gram always made it for us growing up, as she made us smoked shoulder quite often... I always helped her grind the meat, and that I was the "Big Cheese" getting to do that part LOL... Now I just use my blender, and it works like a charm, as long as you don't overload it. You can use chunks of chopped ham in this recipe, but it's not quite as tasty!

Very good and just like I remembered them. Thanks for sharing and taking me back to my childhood.

My mom used to make this with leftover ham, and I had forgotten all about it. Delicious. I used the food processor and cut the recipe in half, but it tasted like I remember. It's a great way to use up leftover ham.

This is really good! This reminds me of that "sandwich spread" they used to sell in the refrigerated section of the store, but they discontinued because it didn't keep well I think. My DH made this before with ground bologna and it was pretty good, but not as good as this! Thanks for posting!
