I will usually go for a Cure 81 in the grocery store. I love Honey Baked Ham but there is not one close to here. What is your favorite? I like the spiral cut ones, butt portion, best.

Honey Baked Ham is all I ever serve but my daughter lives where there isn't a store and she gets spiral cut ham at Costco. She says it is good but not as good as honey baked.

I'm one of those rare people who don't care for honey baked hams, or for any spiral cut hams either. To me, they're dry. Different strokes.

I prefer to buy a whole bone-in ham & cook it covered tightly w/ water in the bottom of the pan for moisture, then uncover & glaze near the end to crisp up the outside.

I'm not a spiral ham person either. I want a thick slice. Any kind of bone in ham, honey baked or plain.

We've done very well with the Kansas City hams for quite a few years now. They are not pumped up with water, salt, or that fake smoke stuff that a lot of others use.

I also like that the glaze they provide is in a packet that you can reconstitute, if you want, or just make your own (which is what I do).

Aldi's, hands down. Many of my friends have complained about the quality and flavor of Honey Baked the last 2 years and have quite buying them.

Like the Cure 81 hams best. Not a fan of those spiral cut things. We'll be getting Cure 81 ham for Easter dinner.

Honey Baked, butt end w/bone in. It's the only one we use, and we're always pleased with what we get. We like the spiral cutting, and the remains are cut up into sections to be used when cooking green beans, vegetable soup, etc. Never waste even a little.

While I don't eat it myself, I served the Honey Baked at Christmas this year and everyone raved about it. I mean RAVED! No one in my family or extended family had every had HB ham before.
