We're not big turkey people here, well DH is but he's agreed to a ham this year for Thanksgiving.
We have a local dairy company that delivers, and they've partnered with other local businesses to deliver specialty meats for the holidays. I can get a Pork Sugar Cured Bone-In Ham, boneless ham or spiral sliced ham. The prices are reasonable, especially considering we're supporting a small local business. Plus, I'm willing to spend a bit on the holiday meal.
Here's my question(s) I know what I'm getting with a spiral sliced ham. that I've prepared and served before.
I assume the cured ham means it's cooked? If it's not then I would think that there would be wording included with the ham itself saying hey you need to cook this? I assume I need to heat the part we would eat for thanksgiving?
Is there benefit to bone in vs boneless with this type of ham? It's just the 4 of us, so no need for a pretty presentation. I care about how much will we have leftover and can I use that in sandwiches etc and not letting it go to waste.
thanks all, and if you're in the KC area Shatto milk is going gangbusters with the home delivery right now.

A cured ham is pre-cooked. You can eat it hot or cold. Usually I’ll cut off what we will eat and warm it up in the oven rather than cook it all through to keep it from getting dried out.
I think it’s fantastic that you are supporting local businesses like this.

I think it’s fantastic that you are supporting local businesses like this. that's what I thought, but wanted to confirm. I love our delivery service. The company has partnered with several local businesses to expand what they bring to so much more than just dairy. We're having our Christmas tree delivered the weekend after Thanksgiving thanks to these guys. I would have ordered our ham through a catalog, but this is cheaper plus local so no crazy shipping to ensure prompt delivery. I'm thrilled.

The advantage of bone in is the bone and and left over ham and trimmings make a great ham and bean soup.

Unless you want to eat ham for days on end and then make soup with the bone, Id probably go with boneless.

I love a bone in ham. It is more like a ham roast and doesn't seem so much processed as the others. The others to me seem more like sandwich material. It also doesn't seem to dry out as easily.

Dh would be horrified if I ever bought a a boneless ham - in his estimation, the bone for the beans is the reason for the ham to begin with! It does make awfully tasty beans. We slice and freeze leftover ham for breakfast.
