Using a plastic food-storage bag, deviled eggs are easy enough for kids to make. Let them squeeze the yolk mixture into the egg white halves and then turn the boat shapes into mystery pirate ships with luncheon meat and olives.

Mystery Pirate Ships

6 hard-cooked eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 (2.5-ounce) package smoked, sliced, chopped, pressed, cooked ham
12 green olives, optional

1. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks. Set whites aside.
2. Place yolks in 1-quart plastic food-storage bag. Add mayonnaise, relish and mustard. Press out air. Close bag. Press and roll bag until yolk mixture is thoroughly blended. Push yolk mixture toward bottom corner of bag. Snip off about 1/2 inch of bag corner. Squeezing bag gently from the top, fill reserved whites with yolk mixture.
3. Place each filled egg on 1 ham slice. Turn 2 opposite corners up over the yolk mixture and gently press. For masts and flags, stick wooden picks topped with olives into the boats, if desired. Chill to blend flavors.

Makes 6 servings.
