Corned Beef Spread

Makes about 1-1/2 cups

This recipe for corned beef spread is super easy and very good on crackers or crostini. Additionally, it is excellent as a filling for party or tea sandwiches, as in the recipe in the similar and related recipes. This was my mother's original recipe. Back in the day, she did not own a processor and she never had a desire to use one when they became available. Although this spread is very easy to mix by hand, you can do it in a processor.

Ingredients

• 1 can corned beef
• Prepared yellow mustard
• Prepared horseradish

Combine all ingredients, starting with a little mustard and horseradish and adding more as desired. Mash until very fine. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Notes: If using a processor, be careful not to make the mixture too pasty. If using as a sandwich filling, the spread will yield five or six whole sandwiches, each of which will be cut into four party-sized triangles.
