LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A delicious ham can be the foolproof centerpiece of your
dinner table this spring, thanks to the Kentucky Legend Ham Hotline that will
help at-home chefs prepare the perfect meal for Easter and other spring
celebrations.
The ham hotline will be open March 15 through April 30 to help everyone select,
prepare and serve the perfect ham. Ham experts will field calls at
1-866-343-5058 from 9 a.m. 7 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday-Friday.
“We’re prepared to answer whatever questions consumers have to help them prepare
the perfect ham for that special meal,” says Janet Sweeney, marketing director
for Kentucky Legend Ham. “We’re here to help whether someone is shopping for a
ham, placing it in the oven or carving it at the table. We’ll even share recipes
for leftovers.”
Kentucky Legend Ham decided to sponsor the first-ever ham hotline because
consumers frequently contacted the company with questions, especially during
peak ham holidays, such as Easter. The dedicated hot line assures consumers will
get answers when they need them. Consumers also can learn more about ham and
find recipes at

Kentucky Legend Hams have been made for more than 100 years in Owensboro,
Kentucky, where producing great hams is done the traditional way by hand, from
a recipe passed down through generations. The hams are hand stuffed, hand
selected, and hand trimmed, then slow cooked in their own natural juices and
double smoked for the legendary taste that gave them their name.
Culinary experts say serving up a great ham dinner is something anyone can do
with confidence, especially when help is only a phone call away. “Preparing the
perfect ham is really quite easy no matter what your skill level in the
kitchen,” according to Diane Morgan, author of more than 14 cookbooks, including
several on entertaining (www.dianemorgancooks.com) “Best of all, the ham hotline
is there to back you up if you have any questions or find you do need a little
help.”
Kentucky Legend Hams are produced by Specialty Foods Group. Specialty Foods
Group, Inc. (SFG) is a leading U.S. producer and marketer of a wide variety of
premium branded and private-label processed meat products. SFG products are
