Pecan, Bourbon, Perfection: The Ham

Imagine the rich, nutty aroma of crushed pecans mingling with the deep, dark notes of cocoa nibs. Then, picture the smooth warmth of Kentucky bourbon and the sweet whisper of vanilla, all infusing a tender, pasture-raised Berkshire boneless ham. This isn't just ham; it's a taste of Kentucky tradition, inspired by the iconic bourbon ball treats created by Ruth Hanly Booe in the 1930s. Smoking Goose's limited-release Pecan & Bourbon Ham, cured with these exquisite flavors, is fully cooked and ready to become the centerpiece of your Easter celebration or a delightful spring brunch. Slice it, dice it, or savor it straight from the package – the possibilities are as endless as the Kentucky countryside. But hurry, this unique delicacy is available only through Easter, while supplies last.

Your Smoking Goose Ham is expertly cooked and ready to serve. To warm it and further develop its rich flavors, follow these steps:

  • Set your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the unwrapped ham on a roasting rack in a shallow pan, drizzling any accumulated juices over it.
  • Optional: Score the ham's surface with shallow crosshatch cuts for enhanced flavor penetration.
  • Pour a small amount of liquid into the pan's base. Water, or a complementary liquid like bourbon, pork stock, apple cider, wine, or beer, works well.
  • Cover the ham and pan with a loose foil tent, sealing the edges. Bake for 12-15 minutes per pound.
  • During the last 30-45 minutes, remove the foil and periodically baste the ham with the pan juices.
  • The ham should reach an internal temperature of 140°F to ensure it is thoroughly warmed.
  • Let the ham rest, loosely covered, for roughly 15 minutes before slicing
