Made with savory cooked ham, tangy Dijon mustard, and a hint of heat from cayenne pepper and horseradish, this spread strikes the perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and sweet. A touch of sweet pickle relish and fresh parsley adds a delightful crunch and brightness, while paprika and Worcestershire sauce lend a rich depth of flavor.

Easy to make and even easier to devour, this deviled ham spread is a must-try for fans of bold, flavorful spreads.
Add the cooked ham to a food processor and pulse several times until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process; you want a crumbly texture, not a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground ham, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, prepared horseradish, paprika, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly blended.
Fold in the sweet pickle relish and freshly chopped parsley, making sure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the deviled ham spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a spread for crackers, bread, or sandwiches, or use it as a dip for fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
