Candied Spam
Makes 1 cup
• Ingredients
1 can diced Spam
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon of your favorite topping
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup Spam, granulated sugar, unsalted butter and your favorite topping.
Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes; stir frequently so the mixture doesn’t burn (especially toward the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and pieces are coated.
Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the pieces right away. (Using two spoons will make this much easier.)
Once the coating hardens in 5 to 7 minutes, you can transfer them to a container or serve them as snacks.
