One blogger explains this, stating: “When producers remove the bone from a ham, they have to then reshape the meat (in a machine called a vacuum tumbler) so it won’t fall apart when sliced. It doesn’t have any fatty bits (which my kids appreciated), and the whole ham is a uniform texture. This ham has more of a processed texture compared to traditional bone-in hams. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes while the glaze melts into the ham.
Cut off a corner of the packet and apply glaze evenly over the ham surface. (Be careful the ham will be hot, and you might want to use utensils to move the ham.) Place the refrigerated glaze packet under warm water for 1 minute or until the glaze is softened. To use the glaze, the directions say to remove the ham from the oven and remove foil, then turn the ham on its side. I’m not sure exactly how much time it would need in a slow cooker, but I might allot 3-6 hours to heat it on low, adding the glaze toward the end of the heating time, and the slow cooker could be turned to the “keep warm” setting if necessary.
It’s small enough that it should easily fit in a slow cooker with around a 7-quart capacity. If I made this again, I might bump the oven temperature up from 325 degrees to 350 degrees to help speed the heating process more.Īnother option if I were to serve this particular ham again would be to heat it in a slow cooker. To make it truly hot in the center, I probably could have left it in the oven for another 10-20 minutes, for a total of one hour or one hour and ten minutes. I ended up heating the ham for 50 minutes, and the center could have been a little warmer, but I had some other side dishes that were ready at that point, so I decided to go ahead and serve it knowing that it was already fully cooked. I wrapped it in foil so it wouldn’t dry out and placed it in a roasting pan with rack, and then heated it at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes per pound, with an estimated heating time of 40 to 50 minutes for my ham that was just over 4 pounds. It comes with no heating instructions, but it does have instructions for applying the included brown sugar flavored ham glaze. The ham is fully cooked, so all it requires is some simple heating if you want to eat it warm, although you can also eat it cold straight from the refrigerator. Ham glaze heating instructions and ingredients. This ham is cured with water, dextrose, and 2% or less of salt, potassium lactate, corn syrup, brown sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. I bought this ham in late February 2022 when Aldi began stocking hams prior to the Easter season, and it has a use-or-freeze-by date of May 15, 2022.
This is a seasonal item, which means Aldi will stock it for a few weeks up to a couple of months, but it’s not something you’ll find at Aldi all year. The discount grocer has sold a variety of hams over the years, and we’ve written about several of them here, including a hardwood smoked butt portion bone-in ham, an applewood smoked uncured spiral ham, and a spiral sliced hickory smoked honey ham.Īldi recently began stocking some different types of hams in advance of the Easter season, and I picked up a new one to try that is spiral sliced, boneless, and comes with a brown sugar glaze packet.Īppleton Farms Hickory Smoked Boneless Spiral Sliced Ham cost $3.99 per pound at the time of publication. If you want to serve a ham for a special occasion such as Easter, Christmas, or the New Year, Aldi is a great place to find a good deal on your main course.
