People like the smokiness of the ham and the sweet surprise of the cherries. I apreciate the make-ahead convenience the recipe offers." I haven't made these yet, but they sound awesome.

HAM PINWHEELS

Ham Pinwheels image

This is my mom's recipe and it's always a hit at parties and get-togethers. Even the kids love will love these pinwheels!

Provided by Mystia

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 64 pinwheels, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) brick cream cheese (softened)
16 ounces sour cream
1 (1 ounce) packet packet Hidden Valley Ranch dip (dry)
1 lb deli ham, sliced thin but not shaved (not honey ham!)
1 (14 ounce) package azteca flour tortillas (8 large ones per pack, in the refrigerator section)

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream and dry ranch dip mix.
Beat until no lumps remain.
Put a very thin layer of the cheese mixture on a tortilla, being sure not to go all the way to the edge.
Place slices of ham on top (I always put one piece in the middle and then cut other pieces to fit around the edges), again being careful not to go all the way to the edge.
Start tightly rolling the tortilla. Try to keep everything inside so the cheese mixture and ham don't come out.
Roll up tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge or freezer.
Repeat steps 3 through 7 until you run out of ingredients.
When you're ready to serve, cut the long rolls into small, round pinwheels. I was able to get 8 good pinwheels per long roll (the endpieces are fine to nibble on but they don't make a pretty presentation). If you freeze the rolls for a little while rather than refrigerate them, it makes cutting easier and presentation nicer. I didn't freeze the ones in my picture, so they were messy and misshapen but still very yummy! ENJOY!

Tips:

If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked ham and cheese. Just be sure to slice them thinly so that they roll up easily.
To make sure your pinwheels are evenly cooked, bake them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
If you want to make your pinwheels ahead of time, you can assemble them and then refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before baking.
These pinwheels can also be made in a muffin tin. Just spray the muffin tins with cooking spray and fill each cup with a pinwheel. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Black Forest ham pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and visually appealing dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these Black Forest ham pinwheels a try!
