What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced deli ham, cured and smoked over cherrywood for a distinct flavor. It is a fully cooked product, ready to eat straight from the package. The ham is typically made from pork, seasoned, and then smoked to achieve its characteristic taste and aroma. It is a convenient option for quick meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
This ham is versatile and can be incorporated into many dishes. It is perfect for sandwiches and salads.
- Sandwich filling
- Salad topping
- Breakfast side
- Appetizer wrap
Open the package and separate the slices. It can be enjoyed cold in sandwiches, wraps, or on charcuterie boards. For a warm addition, lightly pan-fry the slices until they are slightly crisped, or add them to omelets, scrambled eggs, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking. It also works well folded into quesadillas or added to pasta dishes. The smoky flavor complements a variety of ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
The cherrywood smoking process gives this ham a unique, slightly sweet, and mild smoky profile compared to hams smoked with other woods like hickory or mesquite. Its thin slicing makes it ideal for layering in sandwiches without being overwhelming.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly or transfer the remaining ham to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to enjoy its optimal flavor and texture.
