spiral sliced ham or shank?
Comments (22)Yes, the Costco ham is salty. All cured ham is salty. Different processes are used for different 'cures'. (many methods) (-I appear to be invisible. I posted above how to desalt a ham.) Some are lest sensitive to the salt, some love it. The sugar coating mixes balance the salt making it appear less salty but that does not remove it, just masks it. Directions will be on your package of spiral ham. From a company in Quebec(lafleur) that has been in the ham business for over a 100yrs has this on their web page... "Before cooking Since ham is often salty, it's best to desalt it before cooking or, for cooked ham, before eating. Desalting ham In a large saucepan, cover the ham with water. Bring to a boil. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain. If the ham is very salty, repeat the process." -another recommended method, if your ham came out to salty, especially for left-over slices for breakfast, is to put slices in a zip-lock with with some milk and soak a few hours or over-night. Milk will draw out some of the salts. (-i use that method for desalting the final rinse of salt fish.) The Cooks bone-in sounds delish and bone-in is preferred in our home. Less likely to dry out. DH loves it but tends to over-eat so we do a leg of lamb. His choice....See MoreDeli Meat Recall
Comments (16)Well, I agree with those posters who scorn "deli meats" based on their quality (or lack thereof.) I far prefer to slice up my own chicken/ham/roast beef etc. Plus, it's cheaper! Barnmom does make a good point, regarding local meats having less potential for mishandling, etc. But I'd like to see a study or three weighing the points. Locally raised may have fewer possibilities for exposure, but are there also fewer points of inspection? I would like to see, for example, how the incidences of food borne illnesses compare, statistically, between folks who raise their own chickens for meat/egg consumption and folks who buy at the store. My point is not that store bought IS better...I just won't buy into the popular idea that local/natural/organic/more expensive/small farm raised foods are better just because they are local/natural/organic/more expensive/small farm raised foods. People have died of food borne illnesses since human beings first ate food......See MoreHot Ham Rolls or Ham Delights
Comments (5)When I reheat hard French bread for baguettes, I spray them with water first, but you could also steam them to keep them from getting hard. As for the sandwich version, I usually add thinly sliced mushrooms and sprinkle them with black pepper. The other ingredients are sourdough rolls, smoked ham (or Black Forest Ham), and Jarlsberg or Provolone cheese. I generally heat them in an iron skillet, covered. If the bread is hard, I wrap the sandwich in foil and bake it in the toaster oven. The mushrooms release enough moisture to help soften the bread.

Comments (16)mudlady... you might give this a try. Jasper White makes the best chowder I have ever tasted and following this method it is easily reproduced at home. NEW ENGLAND FISH CHOWDER by Jasper White To me, this is the most authentic and most important recipe in this book. It is the gold standard for chowder: a hearty main course with deep flavors, luxurious texture, and generous chunks of fish, onion, and potato. New England Fish Chowder is easy to make, uses simple ingredients, and doesn’2equire you to be fussy or exact. After making this chowder a few times, you will begin to understand the Zen of chowder. 4 ounces meaty salt pork, rind removed and cut into 1/3-inch dice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 medium onions (14 ounces), cut into 3/4-inch dice 6 to 8 sprigs fresh summer savory or thyme, leaves removed and chopped (1 tablespoon) 2 dried bay leaves 2 pounds Yukon Gold, Maine, PEI, or other all-purpose potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/3-inch thick 5 cups Strong Fish Stock, Traditional Fish Stock, Chicken Stock, or water (as a last resort) Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 pounds skinless haddock or cod fillets, preferably over 1 inch thick, pinbones removed 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or up to 2 cups if desired) For garnish 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives 1. Heat a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over low heat and add the diced salt pork. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook until the pork is a crisp golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cracklings to a small ovenproof dish, leaving the fat in the pot, and reserve until later. 2. Add the butter, onions, savory or thyme, and bay leaves to the pot and sauté, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for about 8 minutes, until the onions and softened but not browned. 3. Add the potatoes and stock. If the stock doesn’#over the potatoes, add just enough water to cover them. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, cover, and cook the potatoes vigorously for about 10 minutes, until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center. If the stock hasn’4hickened lightly, smash a few of the potato slices against the side of the pot and cook for a minute or two longer to release their starch. Reduce the heat to low and season assertively with salt and pepper (you want to almost overseason the chowder at this point to avoid having to stir it much once the fish is added). Add the fish fillets and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and allow the chowder to sit for 10 minutes (the fish will finish cooking during this time). 4. Gently stir in the cream and taste for salt and pepper. If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then refrigerate; cover the chowder after it has chilled completely. Otherwise, let it sit for up to an hour at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld. 5. When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat; don’,et it boil. Warm the cracklings in a low oven (200 °F) for a few minutes. 6. Use a slotted spoon to mound the chunks of fish, the onions, and potatoes in the center of large soup plates or shallow bowls, and ladle the creamy broth around. Scatter the cracklings over the individual servings and finish each with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and minced chives....See Moreseagrass_gw Cape Cod
