Hi Jim! Thanks for the info. I was to the point where I was going to try a spiral-sliced ham, but today I bought an unsliced Cook's shank portion that was about 6 lbs at Miejer's since they had one. It has a sell by date of 12/25, so I stuck it in my basement fridge and I'll probably cook it in a couple of weeks. That was the only non-spiral-sliced ham I could find.
