When our local grocery store was out of my normal shank ham last week, I drove to Aldi in a panic. The Aldi spiral ham was better than my grocer's ham; my daughter took it to a school dinner function and it got rave reviews. She was the only one who took home an empty container! For Christmas, I will be baking another Aldi ham. For the poster who suggested a can of coke in a cooking bag for a shank ham, I was taught by my mother that I had to use Pepsi! My kids always remind me when I buy the ham not to forget the Pepsi.And I will not tell anyone how much brown sugar I use with the Pepsi for the glaze...let's just say it would put someone in a sugar coma!
