Make the Most of the Holidays

Make the Most of the Holidays! All you need is a few of these time-tested hacks and gift-worthy products to take the stress out of this hectic time of year.

Savory Seasoning Upgrade

Enhance your SRF steaks, roasts, and hams with our Sage & Rosemary Salt. Handcrafted for bold, herb-forward flavor, it’s the perfect finishing touch to elevate any dish.  > Shop Sage & Rosemary Salt.

Thaw the Right Way

Slow and steady wins the holiday ham race. Allow three to four days to thaw a whole Kurobuta ham in the refrigerator. Once thawed, your ham stays perfectly fresh for up to a week. Planning ahead ensures a stress-free centerpiece. > Shop Kurobuta Hams.

Gluten-Free and Great 

Our Kurobuta hams do not contain gluten, but it's a common question. Our hams only contain rich Kurobuta pork, cured with just the right amount of seasoning. The final touch of flavor is smoking each ham over real hardwood. > Shop Kurobuta Ham.

Glaze Your Way to a Perfect Ham

Give your ham a show-stopping finish with a simple, fast glaze that balances sweet, tart, and spice.

An Easy way to Glaze

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  
  

Optional

• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/8 teaspoon spice, such as cinnamon, cloves, or baking spice mix
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Heat all glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens (about 15 minutes).
3. To glaze, start with a fully thawed ham. 
4. An optional step is to score the ham (in other words, cut lines in it). This traps the glaze and creates a classical appearance. 
5. To score, make cuts in the ham about 1/4" deep in lines about 1" apart. 
6. Score in one direction, then cut diagonally across the cuts to form diamond shapes. 
7. Set the ham, fat side up, in a roasting pan. If you're using a half ham, place the flat side down. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 130°F.
8. Remove Ham from the oven and let rest.
