Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Put the ham, onion, and celery in a food processor (season with a bit of black pepper.)
Pulse (short, quick pulses) 20-25 times to mince.
Combine remaining ingredients (chopped pickles, mayo, mustard brown sugar and pickle juice).
Then stir in minced ham mixture
Cover and chill. (I chilled it for several hours, it definitely gets better as it chills for a while).
Recipe Notes
I used a couple of dill spears since I didn't have any of the "sandwich-sliced" pickles on hand. Also, I used a sweet onion (like a Vidalia). Also, celery can be to taste. I only used 2 stalks. Give it a taste test before serving. I didn't add any additional salt to mine because my ham was salty enough so additional salt would have been too much. But adjust it to your taste. Serve on rolls, biscuits or as a spread for crackers!
