Ham roast

A 2-3 lb ham roast is a smaller, flavorful cut of pork that is ideal for smaller gatherings or family meals. It typically comes from the hind leg of the pig and can be either bone-in or boneless. Ham roasts are often cured or smoked, giving them a distinct savory and slightly sweet flavor. Uncured (fresh) options are also available for those who prefer a milder taste. This cut is versatile and can be prepared using various methods, such as baking, roasting, or slow cooking. It is often glazed with ingredients like honey, brown sugar, mustard, or fruit-based sauces (such as pineapple or cranberry) to enhance its natural flavors. Cooking at a low temperature ensures the meat remains moist and tender. A ham roast pairs well with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, stuffing, or a fresh green salad, making it a comforting and hearty centerpiece for any meal.
