Drain pasta and let it cool without rinsing.

In a large bowl, combine diced ham, chopped sweet onion, boiled eggs (shredded), and pickles.

Add 3 tablespoons of pickle juice and 3 tablespoons of Derky sauce to the mixture.

Mix in approximately 1/2 cup of Duke's mayonnaise and stir gently to combine.

Add the cooled pasta to the bowl and fold it in carefully to avoid breaking the pasta.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
