To celebrate Halloween, a delicious ham recipe

Kids love Halloween and not only in America, because is something that other countries celebrate, like Mexico.

Just as we say that we make the foreigners adopt our mexican traditions, it’s nothing wrong to adopt other countrie’s traditions, specially because we are not changing ours for theirs.

Brief history of Halloween

The word “Halloween” comes from the english phrase “All Hallow’s Eve, that means in spanish “Víspera de todos los santos” and was a celebration known as Samhain, one which spirits of the dead pople walk through the alive onend a candle was placed in the window so they can move on.

Why candies are requested in Halloween?

Because in that time, the celts believed they were going to be threatened by the death ones if they don’t give them what they want, that’s why kids go to the houses saying “trick or treat?”.

This year, the celebration will be different

Because the current status is not recommended for the kids to get outside, with a lot of people, to ask for “trick or treat ?”

We suggest:

• Home decoration can be done.
• The tradition of carving pumpkins can be done at home.
• Contests inside home, like finding candies.
• Virtual costume contest.
• You can apply creativity in breakfast or at meal time making halloween figures like this (halloween pumpkin buns) made with Capistrano Ideal Ham.

For the crepes we will need:

• A glass of flour
• A glass of milk
• 2 eggs
• One tablespoon of butter
• A pinch of salt.

For the stuffing:

• Capistrano Ideal Ham
• Cream cheese

How to prepare:

First: We prepare the mass of crepes, mixing the eggs with the flour and adding the milk and the melted butter with a pinch of salt. We mix it all until it becames homogeneous and is left in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile you can prepare the stuffing: Use 2 or 3 slices of Capistrano Ideal Ham, do little tacos and mix them with several tablespoons of cream cheese.

After the 30 minutes, take out the mass from the frezer and make the crepes in a frying pan so they don’t stick. Because the mass has butter is not neccesary to grease it.

Place a sort of the mass and make it fall in the center of the frying pan and we extend it quickly making circular movements until it fills all the surface, because the mass becomes solid inmediately. They must not be browned to be able to refill without breaking them.

Refill the crepes covering the half with the mixture of ham and cream cheese, enroll them carefully to avoid spilling the fill and place them in the frying pan until golden brown and the cream cheese funds.
