Ham and Dill Pickle Roll Ups, featuring sliced ham, whole dill pickles, and cream cheese, are an easy, healthy snack or appetizer.
Ham Roll Ups
Ham Rolls are a childhood favorite we had at any holiday celebration. Many times, they didn't make it to the table.
At Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other special occasions, you will probably see these on our table.
The recipe came from my mother in the 60s, when she worked at a tea room.
Today, there are so many variations on the recipe. Some people make them with other vegetables, such as asparagus and green onions, and some use a sweet pickle instead of dill.
I have to say, hands down, the ham roll recipe my mother handed down to me is still my favorite, and it is the one with just ham, cream cheese, and whole dill pickles.
These Ham Rolls are easy to make with a few ingredients. I can promise you that a tray of these mouth-watering Ham Rolls is sure to put a smile on everyone's face at your next gathering.

TIPS AND TIDBITS FOR THE BEST HAM ROLL UPS
Ham. Use quality deli ham (baked ham, honey ham, or black forest ham). Before spreading the cream cheese over the ham, be sure to pat it dry thoroughly. This will help the pickle stay securely in place while rolling the ham up.
Pickles. Select large, crunchy whole pickles. Dry the pickles well to remove excess moisture. This will help the pickle stay securely on the cream cheese when rolling up.
Proper structure. Spread the cream cheese evenly to the edges of the ham so the pickle can continue with better slices.
Chill before slicing. Refrigerate the completed rolls (tightly wrapped) for 1-2 hours or overnight before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a sharp knige for clean slices.
Serving. Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch slices, removing the ends if necessary for a superb presentation.
