But all that succulent pork can be expensive. HoneyBaked Ham’s 7-pound bone-in ham is priced at $100, while a boneless 3-pounder is $80. So we wanted to find out whether spending that much was really worth it. Our roster included a HoneyBaked ham, an Aldi exclusive, as well as hams from Costco, Sam’s Club, and Target store brands. In our test kitchen, we removed all brand and flavor identifications, cooked the hams, and asked tasters to rank the five hams from favorite to least favorite.
As it turns out, our tasters found the least expensive option to be better than a ham that costs eight times the price. Read on for our thoughts on all five hams, ordered from best to worst in taste and appearance.
