Ingredients




10 ounces Virginia ham
2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Mustard
1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons Dry sherry
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Crackers or toast points
Chopped walnuts
Sliced artichoke hearts

Preparation

1 Grind the ham in a meat grinder or chop it very finely in a food processor using on-off pulses. Mix the ham with the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, and sherry, and add salt and pepper to taste. 2 Serve the pate on crackers or toast points and garnish with the walnuts and artichokes, if desired. 3 This recipe serves 4 as an appetizer. 4 Comments: A similar dish is mentioned as being served in the White House in the last century. While it does not measure up to the standards one would expect for a foreign dignitary or visiting head of state, this "pate" is great as a canape or spread for grilled sandwiches.
