When it comes to holiday meals and what to serve for Thanksgiving (besides the turkey of course) and Christmas, we all love the traditions. Ham, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, it’s just not the holidays without them. Family get-togethers complete with those great comfort foods that bring back memories of holidays past and create new memories for today is something that doesn’t change year after year. It is tradition and many of us look forward to it every year.
For our family we always have ham on Christmas day, and this year we will be enjoying a Cook’s Ham. I have never had a Cook’s Ham (that I know of anyway) and they offered me the opportunity to try one. I can’t wait!

There are many brands of ham available to you, but to ensure consistent quality and a great tasting ham, look for the Cook’s name. That’s because Cook’s hams always begin with old-fashioned bone-in hams for a more natural texture and taste. We slow-cure our hams with natural ingredients like pure cane sugar, real honey, brown sugar and maple syrup. For the perfect finish, we smoke our hams for hours using real hickory wood. This process gives our hams a taste that separates Cook’s hams from the rest. Since their introduction by Cook Family Foods in 1983, Cook’s branded hams and other smoked meats have been packaged and sold to leading supermarket chains and independent grocers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. In fact, Cook’s is the nation’s leading brand of traditional and spiral sliced smoked bone-in ham, corned beef and smoked picnics.
Cook’s Ham has a number of different products to meet your entertaining needs and they are slow-cured and made with only natural ingredients.
The ham we will be trying for Christmas this year is a spiral ham, hopefully their new Double Glazed Spiral Sliced Bone-In Honey Ham. It sounds AMAZING!

Cook’s Ham wants to continue (or help you start) a family tradition and is giving one What’s That Smell? reader a FREE HAM for the holidays this year.
