Spiced Luncheon Meat

  The Southern Living The Low Cost Cookbook has a variety of simple and low cost  recipes. One that caught my eye was Spiced Lunch Meat. Spam is a favorite of my husbands and Bettie likes it also. This recipe calls for pineapple which is a very favorite food of Bettie's so I was in luck all around.

  I served this with home fried potatoes which we all like and mixed steamed veggies. 

The enamelware plate in the picture was one of my Grandmothers. I also have some of her bowls and treasure them. If you like spam, this is a good recipe to try.

Spiced Luncheon Meat

1 can Luncheon Meat

  Slice the luncheon meat and place in a baking pan. Drain the pineapple and reserve juice. Place reserved juice in a saucepan and add the spices and honey. Bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch with small amount of water and stir into the honey mixture. Add the pineapple and spread over meat. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes.
