Broadbent's Country Ham Seasoning Hocks – The Secret to Unforgettable Stock

This is how Southern kitchens build flavor from the ground up. Broadbent's Country Ham Seasoning Hocks bring over a century of salt-curing tradition to your soups, beans, greens, and stews—turning water into liquid gold with the kind of depth you can't fake.

Toss a hock into a pot of white beans or collard greens and let it work. The salt-cured, hickory-smoked ham bone releases layers of savory, smoky richness that grocery store ham can't touch. Use it for split pea soup, black-eyed peas, cabbage, or any dish that needs a backbone of serious flavor.

Salt-cured and built to last. These hocks are shelf stable for up to 3 months at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 6 months, or freeze for up to 12 months for extended storage.

Salty by nature. Here's how to handle it.

Country ham is dry-cured with salt and hickory smoke, not injected with water like a grocery store ham hock. That's why it keeps without refrigeration, and it's why one hock can season a whole pot. Expect it to be noticeably saltier than what you're used to—that's the tradition.

Don't salt the pot. Add no salt until the hock has simmered an hour or more and you've tasted the broth. It usually needs none.
One hock per pot. A single hock seasons a full pot of beans or greens. Save the second for the next batch.
Too salty anyway? Give the hock a quick 30-minute soak in cold water before it goes in, or stretch the pot with more water or unsalted stock.

FAQ

Is it salty?
Yes. It is dry-cured with salt, and it's meant to season the whole pot. Leave the salt shaker alone until you've tasted the broth.

How do I use it?
Put one hock in the pot with beans, greens, peas, or soup at the start and simmer an hour or more. Pull the bone, shred any meat back into the pot.

Does it need to be refrigerated?
Not until opened. It ships at room temperature and may arrive warm. That's normal for a salt-cured product.

Country Ham Biscuit Slices

I always heard Kentucky ham was the best at least that’s what my grandfather said and he knew him lol..Absolutely delicious. I bought some for myself first, then I bought another box for my dad. We all loved it..as always my grandfather was right.😂

who ever is in your shipping department needs to look at a map and explain how they figured a package would ground ship to Alaska in 3 days. the package should have gone air parcel then ot would have gotten here in 3 days not the almost 5 weeks. do you really believe that the meat is still good

Hello, thanks for reaching out. What you ordered is actually shelf stable and perfectly capable of traveling ground for as long as needed. Because the meat is salt cured it does not need to be refrigerated. Thank you!

This was so good scrambled eggs and country ham are you kidding so good

Thanks so much for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your order!

Cook as printed on directions. Product was salty AF.!!!! We’ll try the second package see if it’s any better. Disappointed so far.

Hey Gary - these country hams are very salty by nature. If you don't have a lot of experience with them and know that you want to have less salt the next time we would strongly suggest soaking the ham in milk, coffee, or warm water to draw out some of the salt before cooking. Usually 10-30 minutes will make a big difference. Hope this helps!
