I agree with sushipup I have never found an uncooked spiral ham at any of the places I have seen them. Uncooked ham is too soft to spiral cut.

Edited to add that some will come with a package of stuff within the wrapper. It will say on the side of the package if that is what you are wanting. Those you can toss the package and do what you want but you need to pay attention to the reheating instructions.

I knew i wasn't making sense. Lol. I meant the precooked ones. Like Smithfield, or Hillshire. A brand I guess is what I'm asking.

I like Hormel Cure 81.

HoneyBake. Worth the price. My DIL got a spiral sliced ham at Costco that was very good.

Another vote for Honey Baked Ham. So many ham products these days, especially from the large producers, are bland and lacking a deep flavor. The Honey Baked hams, from whichever producer they come I don't know, seem more flavorful to me. And we prefer it without any flavor or glaze, I toss that stuff and we enjoy it as is. Plus, the bone is good for soup.

Over the years I have tried several and have found what tastes and looks good one year is nasty the next. Just find one in the size and price range that you like. Reheating seems to make the added moisture come out of the ham which will make it dryer.

I use to buy Honey Baked Hams, but then the price got ridiculous. Over $11 a pound. Really, for that price I would rather buy steak. Maybe that is why quite a few of their stores have closed down in my city. I have tried different brands of hams, but the one we like the best and have been buying for years is Aldi's Appleton spiral cut hams.

HoneyBaked is already "prepared" with a glaze, so it would not be as appropriate as a plain one for trying out a glaze recipe. I like Costco's (we throw away the packaged coating mix); we smoke it. We cook it year round, and it has been consistent in quality. Costco also offers an applewood smoked spiral sliced ham around Thanksgiving and Christmas, that is good.

Honey Baked Ham is one of our preferred hams. It's lean, moist and flavorful. The bone in ham is reasonably priced at $7.39 lb. (Central Ohio)

The Honey Baked Ham price got me curious...a 10 pound ham would cost $79.95. I bought 10 pound Costco ham yesterday for $20.34. It was good though.

Just make sure after you put the glaze on to wrap the ham in foil before reheating so it doesn't dry out. Get that glaze down between the slices.

I looked at Honey baked the other day but decided I didn't want to spend that much on one dish. All my groceries for the entire meal didn't cost as much as one of their hams. I just looked (didn't even pay attention when I bought it today), have a Sam's Choice hickory smoked spiral ham with honey glaze. There were half a dozen choices with different glazes and that one sounded the best to me. I don't think I've ever had a bad tasting ham. They all taste the same to me.

Good to know about the Costco ones not being pre-glazed. I am not a fan of spiral cut hams for that reason. Never met a ham permeated with a sweetness I could eat other perhaps some pineapple brown sugar on the outside or served with a separate fruit sauce or compote on the side

I actually grew up eating I guess what some regions would call country ham. Bone in rind on ham simmered on the stove top. We would eat it with hot hot hot fresh made Coleman's mustard. It's still my condiment of choice when I eat ham whether as the main course or in a sandwich.

Not a bit of that ham would go to waste. We even loved the rind (DB and I would fight over the biggest pieces) and afterwards the ham sandwiches (always on toast) . When it got down to bone with just a little meat left it became the base for delicious homemade soups.

I don't know it was a brand. We simply got them at the grocer's meat section or the meat market. Asked the butcher for a nice boiling him.

Ha, well to be clear, the HoneyBaked ham always seems to be sitting in a liquid. I pour it from the bag, discard any packages (if there are any, it's been a year and I don't remember) and gently wipe the outside. What remains is fine with us, nothing more done to it.

Trader Joe's Ham is spectacular. Has a packet of seasoning for glaze I do not use as it is too much cloves. I have gone back to Costo's occasionally, and never get the compliments that I do with the Trader Joe's. I just add my own yellow mustard and brown sugar glaze.

Last Christmas when my family was visiting, my brother wanted to pay for the ham, but since he was flying in he couldn't actually bring it with him. He suggested ordering and picking up a Honey Baked (TM) Ham, but upon checking I found that the local store had closed and the next closest was about an hours drive away. Even though the price wasn't an issue (since he'd be paying) , I still couldn't bring myself to pay $80 for a ham. The local store had a special on Boar's Head Sweet Slice Ham for about $4.99 a pound, but didn't have any large ones left. I saw that they also had the same ham on offer at the deli (for $6.99 / lb sliced), and got an 8 pound ham (IIRC) and then managed to convince the manager to sell it to me whole at the lower advertised whole ham price. The ham is as good or better than the Honey Baked one I had had in the past.

I only baked it enough to warm it through and made a glaze/sauce from a jar of habenero pepper jelly and some other ingredients.

I buy whatever is on bargain at one of the local stores, give it a good rinse, then prepare it in the crockpot with our own glaze recipe. The hams are mostly consistently good and moist this way. Sometimes they vary, but it's been a long time since we've had one that wasn't as good.

My inlaws always buy one of those nice, expensive, cured mail order hams, but like a lot of people, I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a ham. $15 is about my limitation of enjoyment on a ham at the moment.

A couple years ago my DIL got a good one at Trader Joes. They don't always have them, and as I recall it had a name, Gold something or other.

My favorite (much prefer over Honey Baked) is a Harrington ham from Vermont. My late in-law's used to send us one each Christmas and it was so welcome with my husband (a teacher) and the children home for two weeks. They're just wonderful!

I like Honey Baked hams, but you are advised not to heat them because they dry out. For a warm and moist ham, I like to buy one from the grocery store with a narrow diameter ham bone in it. I trim off the hard rind, and bake it a special way that is always good.

I just got a kick out of reading the ham thread from 2011. If I could like cynic's post on there 100 times I would. LOL

Well here’s a good one! Years and years ago I fixed the ham for my husband’s family get together. I bought a Hormel Cure 81 spiral sliced and baked it using the included spice packet. Then I put it on the smoker for a few hours... yum!!! Off to work I go for a few hours Come home to see my husband had run the whole ham thru the food processor, basically mincing it up. He then added Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce and had even gotten hamburger buns to go with it. It looked like a huge pan of canned Vigo dog food! I was a little more then unhappy with him. Turned out it was out of this world delicious and there wasn’t one drop of it left to bring home. We still talk about the famous Vigo dog food ham. Lol

That's an expensive but tasty sounding way to do "pulled pork". MiMI. Love the story.

Ritamay, I don't have a recommendation but can you share your glaze recipe? I find most too sweet.
