What it is
This is a fully cooked, boneless ham that has been diced into convenient cubes. It is cured using a proprietary process that imparts a distinct flavor and tender texture. The ham is ready to eat straight from the package, making it a versatile ingredient for quick meals and appetizers. Its uniform size ensures even cooking and distribution in dishes.
How people cook with it
They are ideal for both quick weeknight meals and more elaborate weekend preparations.
- Added to scrambled eggs or omelets
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Used in casseroles and bakes
- Topped on pizzas
The cubed ham can be used in numerous ways. For a quick breakfast addition, simply stir the cubes into scrambled eggs or omelets during the last few minutes of cooking. They can be incorporated into cold dishes like pasta salads or potato salads, providing a salty, savory element. For baked dishes, casseroles, or gratins, the cubes can be added directly to the mixture before baking, allowing them to heat through and meld with other flavors. They also make a great topping for homemade pizzas.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger cuts of ham, these cubes offer pre-portioned convenience. Their uniform size allows for faster heating and more consistent flavor distribution in recipes compared to larger, irregularly cut pieces. The curing process also distinguishes it from fresh pork.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add ham flavor to their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the cubed ham. Ensure the package is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. It is best to consume the remaining ham within a few days of opening the original package to enjoy its optimal quality and flavor.
