Ham rolls, or pinwheels as most people call them, are a steadfast tradition for many families. They are a quintessential dish at family reunions, holiday gatherings and other special occasions. And they are made even more special if kids are involved in the pinwheel making.
Pinwheels are simple to make and have hundreds of variations! If you haven't made them before, just grab a piece of ham and start rolling. Once you get the technique down, have fun teaching your kids how to do the same.
Basic Ham and Onion Pinwheels
Ingredients:
Rectangle shaped deli-sliced ham
Softened cream cheese-room temperature
Green onions with long stalks
Directions:
Spread the softened cream cheese on one side of a ham slice. Place one of the onions vertically at one end of the ham slice. Roll the ham slice and the onion together lengthwise. Chill the rolls in the refrigerator until the cream cheese becomes firm again. Before serving, slice the rolls crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Place on a platter with extra green onions for garnish.
