Not for pulled pork and bbq. This would be for a baked ham to eat as
slices for a couple of meals. Leftovers used as ham sandwiches and ham
hash.

My store has 2 kinds on sale (? .97/lb). Either butt or shank. Which
would you choose for my plans or does it even make a difference?

When baking a ham, I like to use cloves, then a can of crushed
pineapple with brown sugar added. When served, I also have a raisin
sauce on the plate.

Any opinions today are welcome. I'll be at the store tomorrow early am
and decide if I want one at all.

Thanks :-D

Shank portion, IIRC, has a larger, easier to carve piece of meat.
Flavor wise, bot are the same.

At that price, it may be a ham and water added product.

Infusing meats with WATER (very heavy, 8lbs a gallon, 69lbs a cu ft!) is an old way of bolstering meat processing plants' corporate PROFITS!! They do it with many Thankgiving turkeys as well. Saline injected meat slugs, I call them!

I buy B&G whole boneless hams at my local grocers (Schnucks) and have them slice it for me free. I just bought one at the Easter discounted price (normally like $4.99/lb) with an additional $25 purchase. They will have hams on sale after Easter too, I may get another one! I portion them up and freeze most of it, taking portions out to thaw as I use them. YUM! Part of my "Monk's Breakfast" as Bryan tried to perjoratively/speciously refer to it in his raging NPD way.

Shank is easier to slice. Butt has a complicated muscle
and bone structure.

I like the shank, easier to deal with. I just bought one today for .98 lb at
Safeway, also a boneless leg of lamb for me. I don't care for cloves on ham at

I know a lot of people do love ham that way. Enjoy yours.

I'm not crazy about ham even if it doesn't have anything disgusting
done to it.

Leave it off. Pineapple rings and brown sugar are for those egg
shaped canned hams that are scraps and pieces of meat pressed
together. Glaze your ham instead.

Not really, my mom always used them on whole hams, butts, shanks etc. never on a
canned ham but then I don't believe she ever bought a canned ham.

I used to make picnic hams, the foreleg and much smaller than a ham, WAG
seven pounds or so.
I baked them for a while to soften the fat, removed the tough skin,
crisscrossed the fat with knife slashes, cloves at the intersections and
then brown sugar and honey. A fabulous meal.

Sadly, the small grocery chains of ten or twenty stores per chain have all
gone away and been replaced by one giant chain for three million people. I
haven't see a picnic ham in years. :-(

ok, but I don't consider brown sugar and honey as an alternative to brown
sugar.

Sorry. My attention got captured by the pineapple and I stopped thinking.

I think some people use an orange glaze made from marmalade, or melting
different flavors of jam for the glaze.

Nothing. Just plain ham if it is a good ham. I see no reason to make
it with a candy coating. I like my share of sweets but not on ham, not
do I like that sweet potato with marshmallows.

I soak then boil the ham, peel off the skin, score the fat into diamonds and stick a clove in the centre of each.
Then spread mustard over the fat; then apply a coating of demerara nugar . Then roast.

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the

* home address
* age

* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

I love sweet potatoes. I like the casserole that's made with peaches.
Tried to make it once (years ago) and mine tasted awful, not even
close to the one I liked so much. Didn't try it again.

Same here!

I have mentioned this here before I think, but I make a Maple-Brined Pork
Loin which might work well with ham.

Near the end of roasting I cover it with a mix of oil, maple syrup and
mustard.

I don't like canned sweets/yams, I love baked in their jackets.
My favorite marshmallows are Mallomars.

I'm with you. I've been looking for some sort of non-sweet thing to
do with ham (just to change things up a bit from plain ham), but I
haven't found anything really satisfactory.

Although lately, in a nod to my childhood experience, when I make a ham
sandwich I sometimes put just a tiny pinch of brown sugar smeared into
the mustard.

I made a batch of jalapeno jelly last summer that turned out too sweet
for me, so I've been using it as all or part of a glaze for
"everything" I want to glaze lately. No reason why something like
that wouldn't work for ham too. Add some mustard or spices to change
it up.

Best alternative is just to cook it plain and simple.

From another post I just made:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing about covering ham with anything sweet - various glazes, the
pineapple and brown sugar thing, etc. That only coats the outside of a
ham. You still get pure ham after the first slice or two. That coating
doesn't soak in beyond the first slice or two.

I like the pineapple and brown sugar thing (plus a pinch or two of
powdered clove). Mixed with the ham drippings, it's a very good
taste. That doesn't mean the whole ham has that taste.

Cloves are a good way to nail those pineapple rings TO the ham for baking!

Serious Eats says:

These days, hams are sold split into two halves, the shank end and the
butt end (often labeled the sirloin end). The major difference between
the two is that the shank end tends to contain a higher ratio of fat
(which I like), and is significantly easier to carve, having only a
single, straight bone to contend with.

The butt end, on the other hand, tends to be leaner, which may be
desirable for some people. It's also got a tricky little number known
as the aitch-bone to contend with. Any butcher will tell you that the
oddly shaped pelvic bone is one of the more difficult to work your
knife around. Unless you are an expert carver or don't mind getting in
there with your fingers, you'll want to opt for the shank-end cut.

I always buy the butt half, usually costs about 25¢/lb more but
contains more usable meat and much less waste, that's why it costs
more. I've never had a problem carving the butt half and most these
days don't contain the aitch bone, and even if it does it's very easy
to remove. If you ask the butcher will remove all the bone, only
takes 30 seconds... then you can stuff, roll, and tie the ham making
it very easy to serve. However this time of year the markets have
fresh ham, the king of all roasts... get a butt half, you'll love
it... and if you can't finish it all, unlike cured ham fresh ham
freezes very well. You can have the butcher bone fresh ham too, it's
wonderful stuffed and rolled. Fresh ham bones are great for making
Chinese pork stock with ginger, garlic, white pepper, celery, onions,
and cabbage. Fresh ham makes for the best chicerones, much better
than pork shoulder, and with the meat there's no comparison. Fresh
ham is superb for hot sandwiches and even better for cold sandwiches.
If you've never eaten roast fresh ham you've missed out on one of the
wonders of the world.

Where is my ... is Jamon - ham?

I used to speak Spanish in the dim and distant past. Not much good with it
now though.

Yeah...I didn't know the Jamon part either. I suppose I could have
looked it up. I took 6 years of French in school and hated it all. Big
mistake. Now with all the USA invasions from the south, I sure wish I
had taken and learned Spanish instead. It's not to late though. :-D

I buy the cheap, water added hams after Easter and put them in the
deep freeze. During the summer I put one in the smoker with hickory
wood chips. All that extra salty water drains off and tasty real
smoke flavor is added.

First - thank you to EVERYONE that responded. Most everyone agreed on
a shank portion so that's what I'll look for.

Also thank you specifically to Steve for mentioning the water added vs
the natural juice kinds.

I looked this morning and all they had were the (desired) shank
portions. The sale ones did say water added. Right next to them was
one that was "with natural juices." It was 80 cents per pound more but
it sure did look nicer than the cheap water added ones.

I decided just wait until at least Tuesday to maybe buy a ham. I
haven't cooked one in years so I'll probably get the natural juice one
rather than go cheap. I'll also try my secondary store and see what
they have.

I'm not big on "traditional holiday" dinners so a ham means nothing to
me on Easter. I've already got a rebellious Easter dinner planned.
heheh I'll write about that tomorrow while it's cooking.

Anyway...thanks to all of you that gave me some ideas.

I hope it's fried pork chops with a can of mushroom soup added after frying.
