Our products can be safely frozen for up to one year in the original vacuum packaging.

Hams that are vacuum sealed can be kept in the refrigerator for two-three weeks. When the vacuum seal is broken, the ham needs to be eaten within 7 days or can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

All of our products need to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer.

Depending on the weight, our bone-in hams feed 25-40 people – Small 25, Medium, 30, Large, 40. Our EZ Carve ham (boneless) feeds 25. Remember to increase this number for a buffet and decrease it for a sit-down meal.

Whole Ham - Remove bag. Place ham on rack in open pan.  Add 1/8" to 1/4" water in the pan.  Bake in oven at 325 degrees for 12 minutes per pound.  Cook uncovered for the first two hours then cover the reminaing time.  Garnish if desired.  Let sit, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes before carving and serving.  (All of our hams are fully cooked and do not require additional cooking.)

The only difference between the two hams is that we have removed the bone from the EZ Carve fore easy slicing.

We offer both spiral-sliced and ready-to-slice hams. Pick your favorite!
