Sliced Half

Product Description
Cook's Smoked Pork Shoulder Sliced Half Picnic is now fully cooked! This means they may be eaten cold or heated. The slices only need to be heated through. If serving warm, please note the NEW instructions listed below.

Cook's Pork Shoulder Picnic is the cut of meat taken from the front leg of a pig. Since a ham always comes from the back leg, a Pork Shoulder Picnic is not technically considered a ham, although its appearance and taste can be similar. Picnics, however, are not as lean as a ham and are traditionally cured with more salt. Whether you boil or heat it, you'll find picnics are a great main dish or a way to add flavor to dishes, especially soups and casseroles.

Try serving Picnic Slices for breakfast with eggs, or grill and serve for dinner with sweet potatoes. Both the large Picnic End and Slices are the perfect size for seasoning soups, beans or greens – and there is enough meat on the bone to cut off and add to the dish before serving.
