Frequently Asked Questions about Dill Pickle Ham Roll-Ups
1. Can I Add Other Ingredients?
Absolutely! You can add finely chopped onions, herbs, or spices. Mix them with the cream cheese before spreading over the ham.
2. How Do I Prevent The Cream Cheese From Being Too Hard to Spread?
To make it easy to spread, the cream cheese should be at room temperature before you start making the rollups. If your cream cheese is too cold, heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds.
3. What’s The Best Way To Dry The Pickles?
Use a paper towel to dry the pickles. If the pickles are wet, they will be slippery and the cheese will not stick. Make sure you pat them dry thoroughly.
4. Can I Use Any Type Of Meat?
Yes, you can use salami, dried beef, or any other deli meat of your choice. Make sure it is thinly sliced so it can be easily wrapped around the pickle.
5. What If I Don’t Have Kosher Dill Pickles?
You can use any large, firm pickle.
6. How Thin Should I Slice The Pinwheels?
This is entirely up to you and your preference. ½- inch slices are the recommended width for an easy bite.
