Strawberry Ham Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Add the sliced strawberries and continue to cook until the syrup thickens slightly and forms small foamy bubbles, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl until it forms soft peaks. Add 1 tablespoon of the strawberry syrup and whisk to firm peaks. Remove the sliced strawberries from the syrup and discard or save for another use.
• Process the shortbread cookies in a blender or food processor or crush by hand to make fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a plate.
• Holding one of the strawberries by the stem, dip it into the syrup, let the excess drain off and then dip it into the cookie crumbs. You may need to pat on the crumbs a bit to make sure they adhere to the strawberry. Place the strawberry on a plate. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
• Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe a small rosette of whipped cream in the middle of each strawberry. Serve within an hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Soften cream cheese and mix with strawberry jam.
• Press each slice of ham into a mini muffin pan creating a well in the middle (the ham will stick up the sides above the top of muffin pan).
• Fill each ham piece with cream cheese mixture and sprinkle top with cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Let the ham bites rest in muffin pan for at least 5 minutes before removing or they will not hold their shape.

Steps:

• Batter: Combine all of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Breading: Pulse the crackers and potato chips in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl.
• Filling: Cut the canned meat into chunks and put it into a food processor with the pickle slices. Pulse until the mixture becomes chunky. Do not overmix.
• Roll pieces of the cream cheese into 1 1/2-ounce balls with floured hands to avoid sticking. Fatten each ball with the palm of your hand. Portion out the meat mixture to match the amount of cheese balls. Put a portion of the meat into the middle of a cheese ball and fold the cheese over the meat to enclose. Once you have a ball formed, dip it in the batter and then roll it in the cracker mixture. Repeat with the remaining cheese balls and meat.
• Heat about 1-inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Gently fry the bites, in batches, until golden brown. Remove them from the oil to a serving platter and enjoy!

Steps:

• Bake ham as desired, scoring if you'd like.
• Combine remaining ingredients, stirring well.
• Spoon over ham during last 30 minutes of cooking time.
• Garnish with whole strawberries, sliced and fanned, if desired.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
• Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
• With a sharp paring knife, cut a cone shape out of the top of each strawberry to leave a small hollow.
• Pipe about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into each strawberry, making sure that the filling overflows a bit out of the top of the strawberry.
• Place the graham cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl. Dip the filled side of the strawberry into the graham cracker crumbs, coating the exposed filling with crumbs.
• Melt the chocolate and canola oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until warm and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
• Dip the unfilled ends of the strawberries into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until set.

Steps:

• Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ham; cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped cabbage and water. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in potatoes, carrots, celery seed, caraway seed, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, stir in the greens, adjust seasonings, and cook for 10 minutes. Serve with bread.
