DH and I made a pilgrimage to Costco today in search of a good ham and other Easter items.

If they had much in the way of Easter baskets or eggs, it's long gone in our area. I had to agree with DH, Costco was worse today than on a Saturday. A fight broke out over parking spaces right in front of us and someone sent in the security forces.

I was hoping to find a ham that wasn't spiral cut, but they all were except for something called a Master Cut. It's a big slab (no bone) and comes with a side of current jelly glaze. We agreed it would be easier to slice.

Has anyone tried this before?

ps There's a lot available for Passover. I got the pastrami (best I'd ever seen) and a Matzo Apple Kugel.

Nothing like a holiday to bring out the best in people, eh?

I prefer bone in ham myself. However, I have never tried the Master Cut.

LOL! Yup, it's me. I decided to change to scottie since thats what I go by anyway.

eta: I had to put in an extra t because someone else already had scottie.

Sounds delicious Noel, I'm a ham lover myself but haven't heard of it either. Anyone got a photo?

Noel,

I did a Bing search on what is a "master cut" ham and the first return was this thread!!!

The only other reference I found to "master cut" was part of a brand name.

LOL! I'll have to do a little research. And I'll have to let everyone know how it came out, a week from Sunday.

I found the most marvelous ham at Costco. I had the usual spiral, half ham in my cart, but when I turned the corner, I found Kirkland Master Carve, applewood smoked, fully cooked, boned ham. It has a flatish shape, which allows beautifil slices, and is the best tasting ham I have ever eaten. It is more nearly like a fresh ham, but with a slightly smokey flavor, very light in color when sliced, not the red color in other hams, ten pounds for $27.+ It came with two large packages of red current glaze, one for glazing, one for servind on the side, which was delicious. I normally make my own glaze, but this was great. It does not have the usual hard rind on the top, so the top is edible. I will be freezing slices and chunks, for sandwiches and casseroles. I plan to get another for Easter.
