The ingredients needed to make Homemade Spam:

Instructions to make Homemade Spam:
- Special equipment you will need. 2 bricks wrapped in aluminum foil. A meat grinder. 2 loaf pans. A casserole dish for the water bath.
- Cut your pork shoulder into cubes; removing the bone and trimming away enough fat to roughly get a 20/80 fat to lean ratio. Place the pork cubes and fat in the freezer for 1 hour and then grind using a #10 grinder plate and set aside.
- Next, grind the 1 pound of ham as well. Add the ground ham to the ground pork shoulder and mix well and evenly by hand.
- Preheat oven to 250F
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Tender Quick, sugar, potato starch, kosher salt, allspice, and cold water. Mix well until everything makes a slurry. Add to the ground meats and mix well to incorporate by hand. The meat should reassemble a thick paste.
- Divide the meat mixture between two 9.5"x5" loaf pans and press firmly to remove any air bubbles, dropping a couple time on the counter.
- Tightly seal with aluminum foil and then place in a water bath, and then into the oven for 3 hours or until the loaves reach an internal temperature of 155F.
- Remove from the oven and place a brick or other heavy object on top of each loaf and let cool overnight.
- Some different ways I use my Spam is in a spicy udon bowl, fried spam next to eggs in a basket for breaky. It also freezes really well for long term use.
