Old School Sugar Cured Country Ham Center Cut Slices 12 oz.

Before the days of refrigeration, curing was one of the few methods for preserving meats. The whole, fresh ham was covered in a mixture of sugar, salt and pepper which dehydrated the ham and “set the cure.” The cured ham was then hung in a cloth sack and would keep for years. Our Country Ham is cured much the same way so that all the delicious ham flavor is perfectly preserved. A great breakfast compliment to eggs and grits or use it to make ham biscuits. Warning: This ham product uses salt in curing, thus it is salty to taste.  Rinse ham with water before cooking to remove excess salt. 12 oz.
