OT: Christmas ham

I have to buy and bake the ham this year for Christmas, I have no idea what size to buy.  We have around 23 people coming.  THis should be fun

Dee, figure around 1/2 lb per person. An 11 lb. boneless should do it. Or, go to Aldi and buy a couple of sprial cut hams. They are cheap there, and they look great when you serve them. Of course, this advice is coming from the Jew who shouldn't know anything about hams (since they are pork).

Hey Lisa,Happy Chanukka comming up!!!!!!

Dee, if you have a membership to Sam's Club they have a fantastic spiral cut ham.

I make 2 spiral hams every year for Christmas at my MIL's so she doesn't have to spend so much money for big dinners so close together.  Anyway usually get mine from Krogers or Aldi's whomever has them on sale and they are very good, not too salty.  I usually feed about 25-30 people thats including afew very wastful kids.

Dee, on a side note just remember that the ham is already cooked all you will have to do is heat it up not cook it again. The one thing that should be foremost is that it needs to remain heated and not overcooked. There is nothing worse than dry overheated ham.

Hey, why a ham, why not a beef roast?? So much better beef as opposed to ham. Sorry, ham in my opinion is for Easter, not Christmas. That is just my opinion.

The family votes on what to have for Christmas dinner.  My vote was nothing...lol  I have a weird family, we have had chicken, lasanga, spaghetti, you name it, we probably had it.
