When fall rolls around, I always gets a hankering for ham. It just screams "the holidays" to me, and I love to make all kinds of different dishes with it. When I was approached by Frick's Quality Meats and asked to be in their blogger recipe challenge, I jumped at the chance to try some of their delicious meats. I was set a few different products to test out and use in recipe creation, and man were they a huge hit with my family!
Established in 1896, Frick's Meats is a US based company run by now 5 generations of the same family. They focus on providing quality over quantity, and it really shows. There is no cutting corners, and the difference in the taste in their meats over others we have had is tremendous.
I was lucky enough to try out the Frick's Applewood Smoked Ham, Frick's Gourmet Sliced Ham and the Frick's Hickory Smoked Sliced Ham. I used each of the products to create a unique recipe, and they were all crowd-pleasers in my home.
