Called the sweetheart because it's just enough ham for two, this whole ham is made with boneless pork sirloin tip, brined for ten days with fresh herbs and spices, then slow-smoked over applewood to give it a savory depth of flavor. Perfect for elegant holiday gatherings or a simple ham and cheese sandwich, this versatile sweetheart is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that pairs well with mild, nutty cheeses like Point Reyes Toma and Virginia Chutney Company Mango Chutney.
