Huckleberry Hardwood Honey Ham - Half

Huckleberry Hardwood Honey Ham - Half, approx. 5lb 

A holiday centerpiece with a wild streak. Smoking Goose brines boneless heritage Berkshire hams under wild foraged huckleberries and hardwood raw honey, with cinnamon, cloves and allspice in the cure, then smokes them low and slow over hardwood in Indianapolis.

Tasting Notes: Deep rosy Berkshire pork with a glossy mahogany glaze, sweet-savory huckleberry and honey up front, warm baking spice through the middle, and a clean hardwood smoke on the finish.

Why you'll love it

• Heritage pork — boneless Berkshire ham, brined in small batches with wild foraged huckleberries and raw honey.
• Fully cooked — slice it cold for a board, or warm it through and glaze it for the table; no curing or cooking required.
• Hardwood smoked — real smoke, not smoke flavoring, giving a rounded, savory depth to the sweetness.
• Half size — about 5lb, the practical size for a family gathering without a week of leftovers.
• Indiana craft — handmade by Smoking Goose Meatery, a whole-animal butcher shop in downtown Indianapolis.

How to enjoy: Slice thin for a charcuterie board with a sharp cheddar, cornichons and a mustard; layer into biscuits or a grilled cheese; or warm the half gently with a honey-mustard or bourbon glaze for the holiday table. Leftovers are excellent in split pea soup, beans or a hash.

A limited-release ham that behaves like a holiday showpiece but slices like everyday charcuterie.
