Check your local store. Apparently more shipments are coming in. These are spiral sliced. I bought two, went back for more at another store. Found these 10 pound hams on the highest shelf! If you don't see them, ask. Screaming good deal.

 
Review: Trader Joes 9-sumthin'/pound hams for 99 cents a pound hams:

The original price on these hams was over 9$ a pound, if I read the tag right.

These hams, or at least the ones at our trader Joes are what they call "uncured" hams. No nitrites or nitrates (except those found naturally in sea salt and celery). Not smoked that I can tell. Come with what is deemed a "flame glaze." Ours was 9+ pounds.

Pretty tasty. I heated one up as per package directions and the glaze was more savory-sweet with a little tang, rather than that obnoxious sh**load of syrup/honey sweet. (good lord I hate candied hams!) The more crispy slices reminded me of a nice Canadian bacon.

I want to go back and buy a couple more of these and then heat them by smoking them in my barbeque smoker.

We had very tasty sandwiches on fresh, home-made french bread last night with a fresh fruit salad. We still have plenty of slices for more sammies today. I have a nice bone and hock for a big batch of beans too, or maybe some split pea soup.

 
Mistral, so there's a bone in them? I picked up 4 for an event later this summer.

Thanks so much for your assessment. I haven't had one yet but I'm looking forward to serving them at the event. Now I've got a better idea what to expect. smileys/smile.gif

 
I have frozen hams and never had the mushy factor. I may not be

sensitive to it, but they seemed fine to me. I ave three in the freezer right now, but they are not preservative free, and I bought them at Aldi's.

 
Thanks Cheezz. So in your opinion, no sauce is necessary? I'll be flying by the seat of my pants

when I make them. Had envisioned needing to make a sauce of some sort for baking them off but from your reports, it looks like it may not be necessary. (Which would be a good thing.) Can you weigh in on that? Thanks!

 
It's like the ones you buy from the other guys... it's spiral-cut and you just cut near the bone

and serve as you would the other kind. It's sweet - not smoky - all the way through. No sauce necessary, and definitely doesn't need anymore sweetness (which a sauce usually adds).
