I've never had a fresh ham. Probably cuz I don't understand how a ham
can not be cured. Isn't that merely a pork shoulder?

Anyway, is the cheapo ham with a lotta injected brine really worse
than the more pricey less injected hams. Beats me. I buy what's on
sale and what I can afford at the time. True, my last cheapo ham
yielded up what hadda be a couple of qts of liquid when cooked in my
le cruzey, but it was dirt cheap and tasted pretty good in the end and
was great in soups and beans.
