Cuban food is very popular, and this recipe was inspired by its culture, flavorful cooking, and especially by a sandwich made at La Flor de Broadway, a little lunch counter in the neighborhood known locally as 'El Rey de Sandwich Cubano.'

1
Preheat broiler on HIGH. Set an oven rack about 5 to 6 inches from the heat source. Line a large baking sheet with foil.

With two forks, break apart any large chunks of the packaged pulled pork. Place the pork between several layers of paper towels and press, to get it as dry as possible. (This will help prevent the cracker from softening before serving.)

To assemble sandwiches: Place 20 RITZ Crackers, flat side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with approximately 1 tablespoon pulled pork. Next, fold a 1/2 slice of ham into thirds and place on top of pulled pork. Then, top ham with the quarter-slices of baby Swiss cheese.

Mock Mincemeat Pie
My mother made this mock mincemeat pie recipe every Thanksgiving. Enhanced with a hint of orange, cinnamon, and cloves, it's a great variation on the typical apple and raisin filling. It's called "mock" because it contains no meat. You can prepare the filling several days in advance. For extra flavor, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of brandy into the filling, if you like.
