Main Course Meats from the Farm - Recipes & Inspiration
1. Orange Pecan Glazed Pork Loin Roast - make with J&L Green Farm Pork Loin Roast using our Orange Pecan Glazed Pork Loin Roast Recipe. A perfect combination of wintry citrus, the sweetness of marmalade, and savory and mildly sweet holiday pecans.
2. Pork Loin Roast with Rosemary-Balsamic Marinade - make with J&L Green Farm Pork Loin Roast and raw wildflower honey using the Pork Loin Roast with Rosemary-Balsamic Marinade Recipe from our recipes section. A celebratory blend of sweet and tangy balsamic vinegar, the complex warmth of raw honey, earthy garlic, and winter-inspired rosemary. Recipe includes suggestions for sides.
3. J&L Green Farm Smoked Holiday Ham or Canadian Bacon Slices* - glaze with raw wildflower honey, maple syrup, or our farm's own black walnut syrup; find our classic cooking & glazing suggestions here, or consider two Christmas-inspired glaze recipes here (Cherry Glazed Christmas Ham - with a homemade tart cherry ham glaze that’s lightly spiced with cinnamon and cloves) and here (Best Christmas Ham - with a simple, sweet, and citrusy glaze perfect for the holidays). *Canadian Bacon Slices have the same flavor profile as our Smoked Holiday Ham, plus pre-sliced convenience. Glaze, heat, and enjoy!
4. J&L Green Farm Pastured Turkey Breast , Pastured Turkey Thigh, or Pastured Turkey Leg - definitely not just for Thanksgiving! Our pastured turkey cuts make a hearty & festive addition to any Christmas dinner. Try a winter-themed citrus brine or cranberry glaze for a Christmas-y twist, or watch jaws drop as you bring out bacon-wrapped turkey breast for your guests! We do have a whole Christmas turkeys available - see the Christmas Dinner section of the online store to see what we have!
