ATLANTA, GA (March 24, 2022) – This Easter, The Honey Baked Ham Company® is getting ready to hand-glaze premium hams for holiday celebrations across the country. Each Honey Baked Ham® and Turkey Breast is individually crafted by professionally trained and certified Master Glazers. Using a unique torching process and secret blend of ingredients, Honey Baked®’s 200+ Master Glazers across the country create the perfectly sweet and crunchy glaze that has been enjoyed by Honey Baked-lovers for more than 60 years.
“Glazing is an art,” says Brian Heffern, HoneyBaked Master Glazer of 14 years. “It starts with hand-coating 12 layers of our special-recipe blend of ingredients on a spiral-sliced ham. The layers are sifted onto the top of the ham in a circular motion one layer at a time, as the Master Glazer evenly hand-coats the tops and sides of the ham with delicious flavor.”
“This is followed by a torch that melts and caramelizes the glaze into every layer of the ham, fusing the sweet and savory flavors into each slice of ham. The glaze drips down the sides of the ham to cover every inch in golden glaze,” added Heffern.
The delicate process requires precision, craft, and weeks of practice so that every ham and turkey breast meets the standards of the Master Glazers. In 90 seconds, each ham goes from sliced and unseasoned to beautifully colored and crispy with a mouthwatering flavor.
This Easter, consumers can enjoy their signature glaze with the following Honey Baked holiday meals, perfect for gatherings of all sizes, available at retail locations:

About HoneyBaked Ham Company
In 1957, when Harry J. Hoenselaar opened the first HoneyBaked Store in Detroit, Michigan, like most great companies, he did so because he believed in an idea, an idea that produced what is regarded today as the world's best ham. Using the highest quality bone-in smoked ham, Harry created a special curing and cooking procedure, bringing out a one-of-a-kind taste that can only be described as perfection.
With its sweet, crunchy glaze enhancing the flavor of the bone-in gourmet ham, Harry's patented spiral-slicing process made Honey Baked Ham the easy-to-serve centerpiece, becoming an instant staple at holiday dinners, Easter celebrations and meaningful meals shared and savored by family and friends.
All these years later, the Honey Baked Ham Company has stayed within the Hoenselaar family and so has the commitment to make every ham the same way Harry did - one at a time. Along with the unmistakable Honey Baked Ham, that guarantee of satisfaction has grown to include homemade side dishes, classic roasted turkeys, and save-room-for worthy desserts that meet our strict standards.
The Honey Baked Ham Company proudly stands behind each and every one of our products and takes pride in serving our customers, whether it's the height of holiday season or just a simple lunch at the cafe.
It's that commitment to premium quality that lets us say when you serve The Authentic Honey Baked Ham®, it's always a special occasion.
