BACK DeliMama : How many guests will a ham serve?

It is important to keep in mind WHO you have invited!  
Will your favorite Uncle go back for seconds, or maybe one of your neighbors will only nibble...  Adjust estimates when reviewing your guest list, really YOU will know best!

Order our reusable ham rack 
This holds the Half Bone-In Honey Ham, just place the rack in the center of a large platter and carefully insert the ham shank down for a secure fit. Garnish platter and arrange several condiments: honey mustard, spicy mustard or a one of your favorites!

Additional hints: 
Padow's own Smithfield's finest Old Cure Hams and Country Hams should be sliced very thin and piled high for best plavor and served at room temperature.  For a buffet, plan to serve 2 - 3 thin slices of ham per person, particularly if you are offering other meat selections. 
Padow's 7 lb. boneless or 12 lb bone-in hams should provide enough ham for approximately 50 for buffet or 35 for dinner.

 

Time to make the Ham Biscuits!
The Deli Mama suggests that you prepare 2 large size (2 1/2" diameter) ham biscuits per person for lunch or 3 cocktail size (bite size) ham biscuits per person for appetizers.   Remember dear, this is simply an estimate.  You may prefer a little more or a little less ham than the guide below recommends.
1 lb =  3 dozen (36);  2 lbs =  6 dozen (72);  3 lbs =  9 dozen (108);  4 lbs = 12 dozen (144);  5 lbs = 15 dozen (180)

A few other hints: 
Padow's own Smithfield's finest Old Cure Hams and Country Hams should be sliced very thin, piled high.  For best flavor serve at room temperature. 
For a buffet line, plan to serve 2-3 thin slices of ham per person, particularly if you are serving meats. 
Our 7 lb. boneless or 12 lb. bone-in ham should serve approximately 50 people for a buffet or 35 people for dinner.

...and remember dear, these are only suggestions.
