Sweet Pickle Ham Spread

This spread is a traditional recipe that was used to make sandwiches that were served up as a midnight snack along with egg salad sandwiches, cheese trays and mixed pickle trays at wedding parties. All the ladies in the bride's family would get together the night before the wedding and make loaves and loaves of sandwiches and appetizer trays. I still make this spread and have reduced the recipe to a small batch and I use it for sandwiches or serve it on crackers.

Your pics are just perfect. I love #1.
Second, I love the story; it is funny because my grandmother used to make the same stuff. Ham salad, egg salad, relish tray all the time.

Not before weddings; but, after a long day of skiing during the winter; it was a snack before dinner. Or, if we had an early or big lunch; it was a late night snack. She would make it and we would snack on it late it night watching movies till all hours. She was English/German, but said she learned it from her Mom and Grandma.

I love traditions like that.

FYI: Perfect pic!!!
