8 oz soft cream cheese, 1/4 cup real mayo, dash of tabasco, Tablespoon or so of dry parsley, minced onion. Can use elec. mixer. When combined, by hand, stir in a can of Hormel ham. Flake the ham with a fork before folding it in. The can is same size as a tuna fish can. The recipe can be changed up by adding 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. I put the final mixture in a Dollar Store Christmas coffee cup and wrap it up with saran for a hostess or neighbor gift.
