TOASTED HAM, CREAM CHEESE AND STRAWBERRY PRESERVE

AKA Elena Ruz Sandwich, this is the lesser known version of the classic Cuban sandwich. The true version is made with sliced turkey, but using ham gives the sandwich a bit more salt, which is a welcome contrast to the sweet strawberry preserve.

Serves 1.

Ingredients

❑ 1 kaiser or brioche roll, halved

❑ 150g sliced ham (or turkey)

❑ 1 slab cream cheese (about 1/3 cup)

❑ 2 Tbsp strawberry preserve

Instructions

• Split the roll and build the sandwich, with cream cheese on one side and ham (or turkey) on the other, and strawberry preserve in the middle.

• Close the sandwich and toast on either side until the bread is crisp but the cream cheese is still cold. Slice in half and serve.

Clayton’s CAR CARE Tips

Battery

Batteries store energy that is needed to start your vehicle, there are a few things to remember about batteries. Regular maintenance #1 is making sure the battery is secured properly so it doesn’t vibrate, keeping connections clean and tight at the terminal, with loose connections you may run into problems like vehicles won’t start, alternator not charging properly and could cause battery and alternator failure. Making sure your battery is ready for the colder weather we see in the Yukon like adding a battery pad or battery blanket to keep it warm when the vehicle is not in use; by keeping the battery warm in colder weather you will get the most power out of the battery on start up. Here is a side tip: if you don’t drive your vehicle on a regular basis and are experiencing battery problems, you could ask you local mechanic to install a low amp battery maintainer; this will keep your battery fully charged even when the vehicle is parked for a long time.
