Serving Instructions

Your Ham it Up Ham is fully cooked and does not need to be heated prior to serving.
Because there is no added water, over heating the ham can cause it to become dry. However,
if you feel you need to warm it, please follow these instructions.

Oven:     Preheat oven to 200-250 F. Place ham on rack in roasting pan, remove the dry-lock pad and cover with foil making a foil tent over your ham. You may fill the bottom of the roasting pan with ½” of water to help retain moisture. Roast until internal temperature is 120F. Using a meat thermometer will insure the best results since hams vary in weight and ovens will vary in temperature. However, it generally takes 7-8 minutes per pound to reach the desired temperature.

Microwave:     You can also warm your ham in the microwave, uncovered for 1 minute per pound
to heat the glaze and give a spiral effect for display.

Your Ham it Up Ham is guaranteed for 6 days after you purchase due to our low sodium and nitrate count.  You can extent freshness by not leaving your ham outside of refrigeration for extended lengths of time. Although fully smoked, hams can stay out of refrigeration longer than other meats.  If you leave your ham out for hours at a party, you will cut down the number of days the ham will stay fresh.  You will know if your ham has spoiled if it spells of a strong vinegar odor. 

To Freeze, wrap tightly in aluminum foil and place in an airtight plastic bag. The ham can be frozen for up to 45 days without losing its flavor.   Freezing could turn your honey glaze white, but reheating would revitalize that Ham it Up glaze.
