Cook’s Ham Review & Giveaway

By /

Cook's HamsI love to make and eat ham!  It is family tradition to have Ham for Christmas Dinner, as well as various times throughout the year.  Thanks to Cook’s Ham, we had the opportunity to try out one of their Spiral Sliced Honey Hams (with the bone in of course).  I remember growing up and being excited when we had a colorful, foil-wrapped ham to eat.  Those were the GOOD hams!  I still have the same frame of mind as an adult.  They really are that good!

Cook's Spiral Sliced Honey HamThere are some really great links on Cook’s Ham’s website.  Check out Ham TV, where you’ll find great tips and recipes in audio and video format.  Learn more about Holiday Appetizers or Recipes you can use during the holidays.  Also be sure to check out the recipes and holiday ideas on Cook’s website.  You’ll be in for a real treat, as well the people eating your dishes.

Cook's Honey HamMy personal favorite is Cook’s Spiral Sliced Honey Ham.  The ham is so tender and juicy and the flavor is just amazing.  Plus you can make amazing Ham and Bean Soup with the bone and leftover meat, among other recipes.  This time around, I purchased a Half size, which serves between 15-20 guests.  These are available in Hickory, Honey, Brown Sugar, and Maple (coming soon)!  Cook’s Spiral Sliced, Bone-In Hams are becoming more and more popular for year-round entertaining and everyday meals, in addition to their status as an established holilday tradition.  Cook’s is dedicated to using natural ingredients in the curing process, as well as using authentic, old-world, hickory-wood smoking, which helps to create a flavor that is unforgettable.  The ready-to-use liquid glaze and dipping sauce is included with every Spiral Sliced Ham.

    Ham leftovers?!? No such critter! 🙂 Seriously, we LOVE ham and there is rarely anything left to use in other recipes. But I can usually scrape up enough to shred into other dishes. One favorite is ramen noodles with ham. Ham adds so much flavor to even the blandest dishes!

    Ok this may sound strange, but I promise it is absolutely delicious. I cover the ham with Yellow Mustard, Brown Sugar and Pineapple Slices. Then I pour about half of a 2 liter of Pepsi over the ham. Cover the ham with a tent of tinfoil and cook in a low oven. I think it is for 12 minutes per pound. In just a few hours the house smells wonderful and my mouth is watering. MMmmmm.

    All I need is steamed rice, and I’m ready to dig into ham leftovers. I don’t add anything (seasons, sauce, etc.) because it’s perfect as just ham and rice to me.

    Recently I used leftover ham and the broth for a corn chowder. I chopped up yukon gold potatoes and onions and let them simmer with the ham, broth, and a little extra water. Added some frozen sweet corn and a little pepper and salt to taste, and then finally added 2 cans of evaporated milk and let it simmer down to a good consistency. Very rich and creamy! Thanks for this giveaway!

    The kids like leftover ham diced up and tossed in with mac and cheese. Add a side of peas and they’re happy campers! Thanks.

    It may not be very imaginative, but adding leftover bits of ham to scrambled eggs and some melted cheddar cheese tastes great!

    We always soak a ham in southern comfort, then throw on some pineapples, and cook on low all day long! After that, we are pretty big on ham sandwiches, and we always save the hamhock to throw in beans!

    I usually buy a pasta mix (Love the Target brand mixes) and cook it as instructed, adding ham for some protein. Easy and makes for good leftovers.

    I love Cooks Spiral Ham. We look forward to making one each Christmas Day. With the leftovers, we love to make ham and egg quiche, pea soup and ham and melted swiss sandwiches.
    Thanks so much and Happy Holidays.

    I cube the leftover ham and combine it with a couple of boxes of Au Gratin potatoes. You just add the ingredients that are listed in the directions on the boxes of potatoes and bake as directed. It makes a wonderful main course. Thanks!

    My family always looks forward to the Ham Pot Pie that they know we will have every time there is any leftover ham. After that there usually isn’t much left so we use the rest for ham & swiss sandwiches.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

    My favorite way to use ham left overs is in sandwiches. Ham, provolone, tomatoes, horseradish sauce and a few diced jalapeos! Yummm! 🙂

    Thank you.

    Our favorite way to use Ham leftovers is to add it to scalloped potatoes. We just add a vegetable & we have a complete dinner.

    I don’t have an actual recipe where I use ham, but I do like to throw it into eggs, macaroni and cheese, etc., and as a substitute for bacon in recipes.

    I use leftover ham to add to my baked macaroni and cheese to make it a main course. It’s also great for ham and cheese omelets or scrambled eggs.

    On the rare occasions when we have leftover ham, we make sandwiches using slices of ham or turni it into ham salad. Thanks for the chance!

    A great recipe for using leftover ham is slice potatoes, cut up ham, and put them in a crockpot. Then add cream of chicken soup and cheese. Let cook for about 4-5 hours and you will know it’s done when potatoes are soft. Easy, yummy, filling, and perfect for a cold day!

    Our favorite recipe and the kids just love it:

    Spaghetti with Peas and Ham in Cream Sauce

    10-12 ounces Spaghetti
    1/2 cup butter
    1 large onion
    1/4 pound ham, cut into thin strips about 1 inch
    1 cup frozen peas, cooked
    1/4 cup light cream
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    salt and pepper

    Cook Spaghetti to box directions. Drain well. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a pan, add the onion and cook about 3 minutes or until soft. Add the ham strips and peas and cook and addtional 5 minutes. Add the drained Spaghetti into the pan, stir well and add the cream and most of the shredded cheese. Mixing gently, season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on remaining cheese, serves 4.

    My kids just love to eat left over ham straight out of the fridge or on sandwhiches but I might have to try some new recipes with it from now on.

    We generally don’t have any leftovers. My kids love ham and they gobble it all up when we make any. If there are any leftovers they get used in sandwiches. Thanks for the contest!

    I like to add leftover ham to scallopped potatoes, in a frying pan with crushed pineapple and brown sugar and in breakfast dishes.

    We usually just use our most of our leftovers to make sandwiches, but I will usually make a pot of ham & beans, or dice some up with scrambled eggs. Thanks.

    I personally love a ham sandwich with ham leftovers, and my Mom makes a great ham salad. But we also love to make scalloped potatoes with ham.

    There are so many ways to use ham. We add it to omelets, cook it with pinto beans for great bean soup, or add it to scalloped potatoes. Those are our favorites.
