Warming and Serving Instructions

Serving your Honey-B Ham

Your Honey-B Ham is fully cooked and does not need to be heated prior to serving. Because there is no added water, over heating the ham can cause it to become dry. However, if you feel you need to warm it, please follow these instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham on rack in roasting pan, remove the dry-lock pad and cover with foil. You may fill the bottom of the roasting pan with ½” of water to help retain moisture. Roast until the internal temperature is 120°F. Using a meat thermometer will insure the best results since hams vary in weight and ovens vary in temperature. However, it generally takes 7-8 minutes per pound to reach the desired temperature. Unused portions of the ham should be refrigerated and consumed within a week.

Thawing Instructions

To properly thaw your Honey-B Ham, place in refrigerator over night or until completely thawed.

Carving Instructions

For a smaller serving size, insert your knife into the ham at the bone and cut around the bone as if you were coring an apple. Then make cuts along the natural lines on the ham’s surface and along the bone.

Turkey

Serving your Honey-B Turkey

Our turkeys come fully cooked, ready to serve and do not need to be heated. However, if you prefer to heat your turkey, place it fully defrosted in an open roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer so that the bulb is centered in the meatiest part of the breast. Do not cover.

Whole Turkeys should be warmed in a pre-heated 300°F oven for 45-55 minutes (Bone-In Turkey Breasts and Boneless Turkeys for approximately 20-25 minutes) or until the internal temperature is greater than 120° (warm) or greater than 130° (hot). It generally takes 7-8 minutes per pound to reach the desired temperature. Unused portions of turkey should be refrigerated and consumed within a week.
