That recipe was numbered <2000 in my MM database so it was collected 
early days. I've never made it since even a 9# ham would be overkill
for my household.

Also, "Servings" is just a "guesstimate" at the best of times. Maybe
the editors/writers at Southern Living aren't eager eaters.

Heck, we once had a regular poster who was well known for using "3" for 
the number of servings .... even when it was patently obvious that was a
specious number.
