Fully Cooked Bone-in Hams

A bone-in ham is a cut of pork that includes part of the leg bone, which helps retain moisture and enhances flavor during cooking. The two main styles are the shank ham or butt ham portions. The ham shank portion features the classic ham shape, is easier to carve, and delivers a rich, meaty flavor—making it a popular choice for holiday tables. The butt portion offers slightly more tender meat with a rounder shape, though it can be a bit trickier to slice. Both cuts are excellent for roasting, glazing, and serving at celebrations—the best choice depends on your preference for tenderness or ease of carving.

Our bone-in hams arrive fully cooked and only require reheating. For best results, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake your ham, covered, for 60-75 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to reach an internal temperature of 140°F. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. For a festive touch, add a glaze during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
