PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUES
I grew up on these delicious, sweet, and tangy barbecue sandwiches made from chipped deli ham. This dish is a staple in Western Pennsylvania, although each family seems to have its own way of making them! It's a terrific last-minute meal. Chipped chopped ham is a pressed ham loaf sold at deli counters in the Pittsburgh area which is always chipped. If you can get Islay's Chipped Ham, that is the original and still the best for these sandwiches. Otherwise, just get any deli ham and have it chipped or shaved paper thin. Enjoy!

HAM BARBECUE SANDWICHES PITTSBURGH STYLE
This is a recipe originally published in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for a regional favorite using local products, Heinz ketchup and Isaly's chipped ham, although shaved deli ham is a good substitute. This is a quick and easy crowd pleaser that can be doubled or tripled. This is a favorite on football Sundays watching our favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are great fresh or reheated.

PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUE SANDWICHES
There are various versions of this recipe on zaar, but this one is my favorite. The key ingredient is the chili sauce, preferably Heinz. In Pittsburgh, Isaly's "chipped chopped" ham is the brand of choice but it is hard to find outside of western Pennsylvania. The best alternative is to have the butcher slice the ham very thin (almost like shaving it), and then chop all those slices coarsely. These sandwiches are a hot and sweet treat with a little spice and a Pittsburgh favorite. I got it from a local Pittsburgh cookbook.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Use a bone-in ham for the best flavor and texture. A shank-end ham is a good option, as it has a good amount of meat and fat.
- Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the marinade penetrate the meat and makes it more flavorful. Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the ham its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
- Marinate the ham for at least 12 hours: The longer you marinate the ham, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the ham for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Cook the ham over indirect heat: This will help the ham cook evenly and prevent it from drying out. You can cook the ham on a grill, in a smoker, or in the oven.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham: The ham is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ham rest before serving: Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
Chipped ham barbecue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your chipped ham barbecue is a hit. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
