Entrees » Grilled Spamwich w/ Pineapple Relish

Jason Bacon knows his canned ham. He fires up the grill and sears off thick slices of Spam as a sweet pineapple-maple-cola sauce reduces in a heatproof pot only inches away. Within minutes, the Spam and sauce are complete. Next, they make a pit stop at a hot dog bun where they are adorned with crushed pineapple, honey mustard, sliced tomato and a drizzle of the sweet sauce. Hawaii consumes the most Spam in the United States. We can't say we blame them here. Aloha.
