Serving/Care
UPON THE ARRIVAL OF YOUR HAM
Your ham will ship frozen. Please expect some thawing to occur in transit. If you are serving your ham within a few days, we suggest you defrost under refrigeration (24-48 hours). Your ham will keep indefinitely in the freezer; however, we suggest you enjoy it within 6 months to guarantee its superb flavor.
SUGGESTION FOR WARMING YOUR HAM
Your ham is fully cured and smoked very slowly over hickory coals. While it will arrive ready to eat, we think warming enhances the flavor. Allow your ham to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before heating. Remove ham from plastic outer covering, and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 1/4" water to the bottom of the pan. Bake uncovered in a low 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 heating. Let rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes before carving.
Complete heating instructions will be included with each delivery.
SIMPLE STEPS FOR CARVING A WHOLE BONE-IN HAM
- Cut a few thin slices from the side of the ham that is rounder (the butt end) 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
PACKAGING & SHIPPING OF YOUR HAM
As a perishable product, your ham will be shipped frozen and placed in insulated packaging to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. To ensure freshness, we ship our hams on Mondays and Tuesdays for arrival Wednesday through Friday. Some states require express delivery due to time and distance from our shipping facility. You will be notified during the checkout process if your delivery address requires upgraded shipping service.
