Cooking Tips

Our Kurobuta hams are embraced by a large and enthusiastic group of ham lovers. Try one for yourself and you'll understand why. Tender and flavorful with a hint of smoke and a touch of sweetness, these are far superior to other hams. SRF hams are made with our signature family cure and smoked over real hardwood. 

Our bone-in hams have a traditional appearance and are the choice for home cooks who enjoy using the leftovers to make split pea soup. Our hams consistently receive top scores in artisan ham comparisons and are featured by celebrity chefs and culinary experts during the holidays. 

Kurobuta is the Japanese term for “black hog” and refers to animals of the Berkshire variety, a heritage breed. Kurobuta pork is highly marbled with a beautiful dark color, firm texture, and naturally delicious flavor. Our animals are treated humanely and are raised on small family farms without hormones using a natural, slow feed process.

Preparing SRF bone-in hams is simple and straightforward. One key step is to fully thaw your ham before cooking. Place the ham on a tray and thaw in the refrigerator. Plan ahead since a large ham can take 3 to 4 days to thaw. 

To cook, heat the oven to 350°F. Set ham in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the heated oven. Leave in oven until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F when checked in the center of its thickest section. 

Pull the ham from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

What is Kurobuta Pork?

Kurobuta is a heritage breed with flavor superior to commodity pork. This premium pork is known as Berkshire in England and Kurobuta in Japan, where it is considered the culinary equivalent of Wagyu beef. Kurobuta contains abundant marbling for a heightened flavor profile and higher pH which creates a deep pink color and an increased moisture content. The result is pork with robust juicy flavor, tender texture and a hint of natural sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much ham per person?

We recommend at least 8 oz. for each person at your table. If you want to have leftovers or your crowd is full of hearty eaters, use 12 oz. for your calculations.

How to smoke a ham

Place the ham directly on the smoker, cover, and allow it to smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (approximately 4 hours). 

Once the ham reaches 135°F, brush the entire ham with the glaze. Cover the smoker and allow the glaze to set for 5 minutes. Coat the ham once more with the glaze, cover the smoker, and allow the ham to continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Repeat the glazing process until the glaze is gone or the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.

Remove the ham from the smoker and allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
