Deviled Ham Balls

May 20, 2019 by mgrc Leave a Comment

.

There’s no explanation on Card 66 from the 2 in 1 International Recipe Card Collection as to the inspiration for these ham balls, nor for the reason that they’re paired with two cocktails named after snakes.

I can only guess it’s the bite of the cayenne pepper and the bite from the whiskey in the drinks.

Regardless, it makes about two dozen balls, which can be arranged on party skewers for creative kebabs. All of these suggest a dipping sauce, but no recipe for the sauce is provided. What kind of sauce would you try?

You may need a Rattlesnake or Copperhead to help you along.
