Hello everybody, it is Jim, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a distinctive dish, homemade spam. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Homemade Spam is one of the most well liked of current trending meals in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. It’s simple, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look fantastic. Homemade Spam is something that I’ve loved my whole life.
Homemade Spam is decidedly not mystery meat. It's just plain old pork and ham. Mix it with greens and black eyed peas for a rich and flavorful casserole (don't add any extra salt to the mixture as there's more than enough salt in the Spam), use it on Sushi (I'm still a little skeptical about that one, Hawaii), and save some for homemade.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have homemade spam using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Homemade Spam:
- Make ready 5 pounds pork shoulder
- Prepare 1 pound ham (I prefer black forest or Chisasea)
- Make ready 2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of Morton Tender Quick
- Prepare 3 Tablespoons sugar
- Get 3 Tablespoons potato starch (corn starch would work as well)
- Make ready 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
- Take 1/4 Teaspoon allspice
- Get 1 Cup ice cold water
Store-bought SPAM is usually packed with lots of sodium (or salt), as well as sodium nitrite as a preservative. Homemade Spam is tender and delicious and can form the basis of countless sandwiches and meals. The ingredients are few, the method is easy with no specialist equipment required and the results are seriously mouthwatering. Homemade SPAM With Pork Shoulder & Ham: Spam, spam, spam, it is a poor man feast.
Steps to make Homemade Spam:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Most people will not admit they love spam. Some may never even try it. Canned meat just doesn't feel right. You may remember a post I wrote back in June that got me started on my quest for a recipe for SPAM or spiced ham. Pork with Ham, Salt, Water, Potato Starch, Sugar, Sodium Nitrite.
