Title: Ham
Post by Westwood on Mar 7th, 2006 at 2:59am
Can you still buy ham that doesn't require refrigeration?  It seems that all the hams in the grocery stores and meat markets require refrigeration.  If I remember my history lessons correctly, the whole purpose of making hams was because it was a way of preserving meat without refrigeration.  Curing the pork with smoke, salt and sugar was all that was necessary to keep the ham from spoiling.  I used to be able to buy ham that didn't need refrigeration off the shelf from Cub Foods or Super One.  I still pack ham when I go to Quetico.  I just freeze it before I leave and then give it some insulation and it does fine.  But I would prefer ham that doesn't require refrigeration.

So does anyone know where you can buy ham that doesn't require refrigeration.
