Good Holiday Eats
Babs and Denise talking about turkey leftovers brought to mind another one of my favorite "Family Gathering" foods. . . Ham. I love ham and use it as part of my regular meal rotation year-round. Hamhocks and ham shanks are a standard item in my bean soup, red beans and rice and several of my other favorites.
But when it comes to serving a ham for dinner, there is only one choice for me. Dearborn Sausage Co. http://www.dearbornsausage.com/ makes THE BEST glazed, spiral-sliced ham I have ever tasted. The hams you get from Honey Baked Ham Co. are good, but can't even begin to compete with a Dearborn ham. The difference? Dearborn brand does not inject their hams with water for processing to increase the weight. The added water cooking out of a normal ham carries a lot of flavour with it. Their glaze seals the natural moisture in and makes for a taste like no other.
I know, I know. . . That sounds like a commercial, but I recommend products based on my experience with them. Their entire product line is great from hot dogs to lunch meats and sausage. I don't buy anything else. Try the hotlink above. They'll ship anywhere and are just great people to do busines with. This is a small family-owned business that has been around the Motown area for many years.
