About 1 ½ cups We once received a letter from a hard-working scientist thanking us for the efficacy of our deviled ham recipe, specifically its ability to efficiently satisfy his nutritional needs. He made big, economical batches to have around as a quick protein source—a sort of hammy precursor to Soylent. Use as a sandwich spread or serve in a crock with crackers.
