Ham

[BRCoats]

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with split pea soup (sounds yucky, but it might provide some nutrition). So, I need some ham to put in it. Does anyone know of a gluten-free brand?

The recipe says that I can either put ham chunks in it, or a ham bone in it. Is it safe to just request a ham bone from the grocery store butcher? I'm confused.

TIA!

Many hams have additives, especially if you get the ones with honey or brown sugar in them. Your best bet is to verify with the "manufacturer" whether their meat has additives that contain gluten. A quick phone call by you or your butcher should give you the info you need.

I bought a ham this week that has gluten in it. I was shocked. I'd never gotten a ham with gluten before. Thank God I read the ingredients.

My beloved Hormel company makes a few canned products that are gluten-free.

Hormel Chunk Meats: Ham

Amoung most of the others, this is gluten-free, I've used a variety of these chunked canned items, as it can be helpful to have a can of chicken or turkey available, when making some type of soup, and then you realize you are all out of the fresh stuff.

The Black Label and Cure 81, Canned Hams are also gluten-free

Hormel would be the easiest to find, but Wellshire farms makes great gluten-free hams. They have a website and you can order directly from them. Some stores, like Harry's and Wholefoods carry this brand as well. Good luck. Soup is so great for our lunches!

I like the Hormel Cure 81 Hame.

I usually put a glaze of honey over myself and bake it.

Or you can just unwrap it and eat it on sandwiches. Either way, it is pretty darn good ham......

It is in the meat case at most grocery stores near the other "large Hams".....you can buy it in the 5 lb version or the smaller .5 - 1.5 lb block...

Thanks a lot, broncobux. I'll look for it next grocery day. A good ham sounds really yummy right now!!!

I am lucky enough to live in a rural area and just buy a whole hog! I have it butchered the way I want, and make sure it is cured and processed gluten-free. Do you have that option? Most meat processing stores carry extra meat you can buy from them without buying a whole hog or cow. Yummy!!!
