To enjoy this ham, you can simply heat it through. It can be warmed in the oven, on the stovetop, or even in a microwave. For oven heating, place the ham in a baking dish and warm it at a moderate temperature until it reaches your desired serving temperature. If you are using it in a recipe, you can add it directly as it is already cooked. The natural juices can be used to add moisture and flavor to other components of your meal.
How it differs from similar foods
The cherrywood smoking process gives this ham a unique, slightly sweet, and smoky flavor profile that differs from hams smoked with other woods like hickory or mesquite. The inclusion of natural juices also contributes to a moister texture compared to some other pre-packaged hams.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the ham tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the remaining ham within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality.
