Directions:
How do I serve my Ham?
Spiral Cut Bone-in-half, Hickory cured Hams are fully cooked and ready to serve. Often recommended serving them at
room temperature. Just take them out of the refrigerator approximately 45 minutes prior to serving and allow the ham
to reach room temperature.
If you prefer to heat your Ham, pre-heat your oven to 250 degrees. Wrap your ham in foil leaving a small opening at
the top. Place a shallow pan of water on the rack below the ham to help maintain moisture. Heat your Ham for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Be careful not to overheat. This will cause the ham to dry out.
How do I slice my Ham?
Bone In Ham: Your bone in ham is already spiral sliced to the bone for easy serving. Take a sharp knife and cut around the bone on the face of the ham. Cut along the natural muscle line. Finally, cut from the bone straight down to the bottom of the ham. Remove slices from the bone and serve.
Boneless Ham: Place the ham face down on the cutting surface. Take a sharp knife and cut straight down. Best of all, boneless ham allows you to choose the thickness as you slice it.
