The sugar cured whole ham offered by Crackerbarrel, weighs between 14 and 16 pounds. The half sugar cured ham weighs between 7 and 9 pounds. The hams come already cooked. Just heat them up and serve. It has been suggested that if the ham is already cooked, it should take between 5-10 minutes per pound to warm up.
A cured ham is a ham that is ready to eat.
