PACKAGING OF OUR HAMS
As a perishable product, our hams are shipped frozen and packed within a reuseable, insulated cooler to ensure arrival in superb condition. The cooler is then placed in an attractive gift box for further protection during shipment.
UPON THE ARRIVAL OF YOUR HAM
Please expect some thawing to occur in transit. For serving within a few days, we suggest you defrost under refrigeration (24-48 hours). You may also choose to freeze it. Your ham will keep indefinitely in the freezer; however, we suggest using it within 6 months to ensure its' superb flavor.
SUGGESTION FOR WARMING HAM
Your ham is fully cured and smoked very slowly over hickory coals. However, we recommend the following to enhance the flavor: Allow you ham to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before heating. Remove ham from plastic outercovering, and place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 1/4" water to the bottom of the pan. Bake uncovered in a slow oven (300-325 degrees) for 10-12 minutes per pound. You may cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil for the last half hour of hearing. Let sit, uncovered, for 20 minutes before carving.
Complete cooking instructions will be included with each delivery.
CARVING A WHOLE HAM
- Cut a few thin slices form the side of the ham that is rounder in order to make a flat base
- Stand the ham on the cut side and slice straight down to the bone in 1/4 inch slices
- Run the knife horizontally along the bone to remove the slices.
- Turn the ham over and carve 1/4 inch slices in the same fashion.
