Pig Newtons
1 can of SPAM and 1 can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the SPAM slab in half, then in 1/4 inch slices. Unroll the crescent rolls
and
separate into 2 long rectangles. Pat the remaining perforations in the rectangles closed. Lay the SPAM slices
end to end
down the middle of the dough from one short edge to the other. Bring the sides to lap over the SPAM and seal
with your
fingers. Turn over the whole thing. Slice this into 1 to 1-1/2 inch sections and place seam side down on a
cookie sheet.
They look like pink Fig Newtons™. Repeat for the second piece of dough and the remaining SPAM. You may
have a
few
pieces left for spushie (raw spam) yum, yum. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown and surprise your friends
who
have
never tasted SPAM. We took this to a fancy cocktail party once and the Pig Newtons were gone before the
shrimp!
Serve
with a good American Pale Ale, Geary's or Sierra Nevada if you are home-brew deprived.
