Honey baked Ham ?

homedecor1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 05:01:57 GMT

I've had it at different affairs yet have never purchased myself. I'm hosting a open house next weekend with about 25-30 people and will be serving a lite dinner/appetizer menu. I was thinking of getting a ham - suggestions please on what style/kind to buy. I will be leaving on a vacation so I don't want any leftovers other than a little ham for breakfast. Thank you

Why not get one of the hams QVC sells - Smithfield or Kansas City?

I suggest going over to Aldi and getting that spiral ham....they are so delicious.I have made them for parties,funerals,holiday and never had a bad one. I'm making one this Christmas again. They are not expensive at all.

Honey Baked is the best. Get a medium to large boneless.

Honey Baked Hams can be pricey. Haven't purchased one in years, but remember when I did, it was over $40. If you can find a Cooks brand ham at a grocery store in your area, they are very good. I also agree with a previous poster who recommends Aldi's hams. They too, are very good and very reasonably priced.

If you type ""Aldi ham "" in the search bar in the forums you can see all the comments on this ham.

Of the readily available hams I think Cure 81 is best. I would rate it over Aldi's from the ones I've had. Spiral sliced, whole or butt portion!

Spiral ham is a nice choice. Go to the Honeybaked website and they have a chart to guide you in the size to purchase. I would think 10 pounds would be good. Save the bone in your freezer and use it to make a split pea soup sometime in the future.

If you have a Costco near you, they have a very similar item for around $4 per pound. HoneyBaked price is bout $8 per pound. I've bought Costco's version in the past and find them very similar to the HoneyBaked version. Comes with a sugar packet that you mix with juice or water to make a tasty glaze.

Thank you for your replies. I did the chart and omg I'm pretty shocked what a ham could cost! I can do it myself may go to Costco or SAMs. Wouldn't order off QVC as I'm not sure of these brands and think maybe overpriced.

Birkin Baby, you are so right, they are absolutely delicious. My daughter got a spiral sliced ham a couple of weeks ago for a get together with her in laws. She bought the one that is spiral sliced and 2.19/lb and it was absolutely one of the best hams I have ever had. I am not a huge ham fan to begin with but I will eat a little of it once in a while. Well I tried it not realizing it was from Aldis and I thought she got it from the Honey Baked Ham store.

Our Aldis has a refrigerated bin that holds the hams and there are 3 different types, with 3 different prices for each. I think she said she got the most expensive one which is $2.19 per pound.

In the past we have gotten our hams at the Honey Baked Ham store but they are just so unbelievably busy and actually have to have police officers direct traffic in front of those stores because the lines are insane.

I get a store brand of honey/brown sugar spirel glazed ham which is delicious for around $10.00. You really don't need the expensive kind with items that good around. It's frozen and has aa orange/red wrapper. Have ham, small biscuits, different mustards, mayo, and a large fruit bowl, deviled eggs, pasta salads.

Honey Baked Hams are the best. I don't really care for ham but I like those. Quality costs.

We ordered a honey baked ham for thanksgiving i think 10 pounds was like $95. Went to pick it up the monday before holiday, line was an hour long with no place to park, even though we had ordered one. Forget that, went to Sam's Club got one for $25 it was delicious!

We bought them for years and years, I stopped it about 10 years ago, you can get very good spiral cut honey glazed hams in the grocery for half the price. IMO your paying for the name.

Remarkable - most of you say Aldi's, Costco, or grocery spiral ham is just as good as Honeybaked at a fraction of the price and inconvenience. That's good to know!

Please do this for purchases next year: Register on line with the Honey Baked Ham website. They will send you special emails with discounts. You can then order on line with free shipping and have your order sent to your house. I have done this for the last 6 years. The orders are packed inside a cooler with frozen ice packs. The side dishes I ordered for Thanksgiving were delicious. We had the broccoli and rice, potato au gratin and the sweet potato casserole. I transferred the side dishes to my own serving dishes. Yes a little pricy but I love that my meal can be shipped to my door..... and saves me alot of time , stress . I always have at least two more made from scratch side dishes. My DH that normally complains about prices loves the direct door delivery.

DH loves HBHs. You can purchase slices which we will probably do for Christmas.

We love Honeybaked Hams.

But we've also gotten good spiral cut hams from Super Target (not all Targets have a grocery section, but if yours does, they will carry hams during the holidays).

I've heard great things about Aldi's hams, but haven't tried one yet.

Left over ham can be frozen in quart bags for use later, soups, sandwiches, ham fried rice, breakfast, ham salad...many things. It won't go to waste. I also one that doesnt' have a Honey Baked Ham shop within 200 miles, so I've purchased the spiral cut ones at Sams and the grocery store. They are perfect. Honey Baked just takes the work out and glazes it. You can do your own and it will be much cheaper.
