How to Cook a Pastured Smoked Ham Roast

Our Smoked Ham Roasts come from humanely-raised, pastured pigs who spend their lives outdoors in fresh air.

Our hams are delicious served cold or room-temperature, or heated slowly at a low temperature. Glazing can add a festive flair and a sweetness that complements the ham's savory flavor, though a minimalist no-glaze approach is equally tasty. 

Our Smoked Ham Roasts are pre-cooked and full of natural flavor, making preparation a breeze.

General Heating Instructions:

1| Preheat oven to 325-350°F depending on your oven; the goal is to warm the roast thoroughly without drying it out, so lower temps are best.

2| Place ham cut-side down in a baking dish or shallow roasting pan. Optionally, add a small amount of water to prevent scorching. Cover with foil.

3| Bake for approx. 20 minutes per pound, or until heated through. If glazing, pull ham from oven about 30 minutes from expected end time. Remove from pan any remaining water and brush ham with glaze. Remove foil if you wish to caramelize the glaze. Return ham to oven.

4| Pull ham from oven when internal temperature reaches 140-150°F, then allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Glaze suggestions:

For a simple glaze, brush ham with our 100% pure Black Walnut Syrup harvested from trees on our farm, raw wildflower honey, or maple syrup. For glaze recipes, Google is full of mouthwatering suggestions - follow their glazing instructions if they differ from ours.
