Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound Butter
  • ½ pound Ham cooked, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Sage

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter slowly on the stove, or melt it in the microwave. When it's melted, pour the clear part of the butter into a small bowl, trying to leave as many of the solids behind in the pan as possible. Just discard the solids. Let the butter cool a bit.
  • Put the ham, the seasonings and three-quarters of the butter into a food processor and whiz till you have a smooth paste. Adjust the taste.
  • Put into a container or bowl, and put enough of the remaining butter on top of it to make a thin layer of butter. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Notes

You can serve this after about ½ hour, but it's even better made a day ahead.
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
