Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

Hickory Smoked , Honey Cured and Lean Hams - What it Means HICKORY-SMOKED HAM - a cured ham which has been smoked by hanging over burning hickory wood chips in a smokehouse. May not be labeled "hickory smoked" unless hickory wood has been used. HONEY-CURED - may be shown on the labeling of a cured product if honey is the only sweetening ingredient or is at least half the sweetening ingredients used, and if the honey is used in an amount sufficient to flavor and/or affect the appearance of the finished product. "LEAN" HAM - The term "lean" may be used on a ham's label provided the product contains less than 10 grams fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams cholesterol per 100 grams and Reference Amount Customarily Consumed (RACC). That was quite a party we had the other night. Yes, you were right. We had a lovely honey glazed type ham. Delicious. See you here tomorrow.
