When you think of holiday dinners, there are probably more than a few traditional dishes that come to mind. When it comes to the main course, a succulent holiday ham usually is near the top. A holiday ham is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any holiday in between.
There are many types of ham including spiral, honey-baked, maple-glazed, smoked, country, and many more. Some prefer bone-in options, while others prefer partially boned or boneless. Either way, It’s an easy main dish with virtually no cooking required, and it serves a crowd. But since there is nearly no cooking, all the work of a ham lies in the choosing.
