Directions
-
Combine the cubed ham and ham fat in a food processor.

Pulse until the meat is ground fairly fine, similar to a coarse pâté texture.

Add the mustard, vinegar, nutmeg, cloves, pepper sherry, anchovy paste, garlic, black pepper, ginger, and thyme to the processor.
-
Process again until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth but still has some texture.
-
If using a blender instead of a processor, grind the ham and fat in two batches.
-
Scrape the first batch into a bowl, add the seasonings, process the second batch, and then combine everything in the bowl.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
Transfer the mixture to a jar or container.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Serve chilled with crackers or on sandwiches.
