A Broadbent Country Ham is dry-cured. We began the process by hand rubbing the ham with salt, sugar and other "secret" ingredients in precise amounts at certain stages of the curing process. Each ham is delicately smoked with Hickory Wood until it reaches a rich pecan color and then aged to perfection.
Your ham is shipped unrefrigerated. Early settlers in Kentucky first used this dry-cure process. They would cure their meat during the colder months of the year. Once the cure process was completed, their meat would not spoil, even during warm temperatures. This unique process allows this ham to be shipped unrefrigerated. Upon arrival we do recommend refrigerating the ham. This will allow the ham to remain moist.
Warming your ham: Your ham is fully cooked and ready to serve…no need to recook it, (this will make the ham dry and tough). To glaze, follow directions on Glaze for heating glaze. Simply score the fat side of the ham diagonally in opposite directions. Coat ham with glaze, stud with cloves if desired and heat in the oven at low temperature until glaze is browned.
Remember: Slice very very thin! Your ham will be tough if sliced too thick. To heat a sliced ham, wrap in foil and place in preheated 350-degree oven for 4 to 5 minutes. To microwave, cover slices and heat 30 to 45 seconds on medium setting.
Storing your ham: Your ham may be stored in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. It can be frozen for up to three months. When storing an unused portion, wrap tightly removing as much air as possible.

Did you know....Broadbent B & B Foods has been producing Old Fashioned Country Ham since 1909. In April of 1999 the company was sold by the founders. My husband and I (Ronny and Beth Drennan) purchased the company. This year will be our 25th Holiday season. Lots of aging has gone on during the past 25 years. Many season of hams have aged and even though we have aged along beside the hams, we have truly been blessed to carry on the legacy began by the Broadbent Family. It is "A Truly American Food" that has been on this continent since colonial days. Country Ham and Dry Cured Bacon were staples that sustained many of our first settlers as they moved west. Climates had to be just right to cure hams in the days before electricity and Kentucky's climate fit the bill. Therefore the Broadbent family brought those curing traditions with them when they settled in Kentucky. They continued to use them to dry cure and preserve their pork. We still dry cure Country Ham, Bacon and Sausage the old fashioned way, like our forefathers. Today Country Ham is far from a Staple, it is found on menus of ritzy restaurants all across America. It can be called Country Ham, yet it is often called Prosciutto and used as the center piece of Charcuterie Boards.
Bacon is still a staple for many Americans, being consumed in the average household weekly. Bacon is no longer considered just a breakfast food. It is a sandwich all in itself or a topping for a variety of sandwiches, plus a topping for salads, baked potatoes, pastas and much more. Enjoy Broadbent Smoked Bacon by the slab or pre-sliced. Likewise, Broadbent Sausage is perfect for breakfast, especially for sausage gravy, but also delicious for sausage balls and many other recipes using breakfast sausage. Broadbent Breakfast Sausage is still stuffed in cloth bags and then hung in the smoked and hickory smoked to perfection.
In 2024 a Broadbent Grand Champion Country Ham sold at a charity auction for $10.5 Million Dollars. Broadbent has been named Grand Champion Country Ham 23 times at the Kentucky State Fair. Our Pepper Bacon has been named the Outstanding Meat, Pate & Seafood at the International New York Fancy Food show two times. In 2021 our Maplewood Smoked Heritage Bacon was a Winner in the Charucterie catagory of the Good Food Awards. Our goal is for "Good Taste to always take the prize" when you serve Broadbent Country Ham, Dry Cured Bacon or Smoked Breakfast Sausage. That's our promise! If you're not completely satisfied, simply contact us within 30 days for a replacement or refund. Please remember our meats are salt cured, meaning they will be salty in nature. Replacements or refunds will not be given because of saltiness.
