Easter with the fam? Don’t forget the ham … and lamb, turkey and even beef. For the centerpiece of your holiday meal, spring into action at your local Strack & Van Til Food Market.

You’ll find an Easter parade of main course options in the Meat Department.

“Nothing says Easter like a traditional, tender and delicious ham, and your local Strack & Van Til Meat Department has the largest selection of smoked hams in the Midwest,” says department Director Gary Teachman. “Choose from bone-in and boneless, spiral sliced and fully cooked, or easy-to-carve and simple-to-cook hams, in various sizes.”

Feeding a lot of peeps? Naturally hardwood smoked, gluten-free and fully cooked, Smithfield Hickory Smoked Ham Portion is perfect for a big family and is available at a great price, notes Teachman.

If spiral-sliced ham is what you prefer, the Meat Department has you covered. Enjoy mouthwatering flavors from honey to brown-sugar glazed from brands such as Cure 81, Hillshire Farm, Sugardale and Cook’s.

The Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bone-in Spiral Sliced Half Ham is naturally hickory smoked and hand-trimmed. This fully cooked, succulent variety has natural juices and is ham heaven on earth. It includes a packet of glaze and is sold in the iconic red foil package.

“For a special, unforgettable treat, try the pecan praline-coated Smithfield Spiral Sliced Ham,” Teachman adds. “It’s the ultimate in southern sweetness.”

Check out the Strack & Van Til Meat Department for flavorful, traditional quality hams including Hillshire Spiral Sliced in several flavors and Fleur De Lis Premium Hardwood Smoked Ham.

The boneless Kentucky Legend is an “egg-ceptional” ham that boasts a delightful smoked flavor. Choose a half or whole ham for a larger celebration, and a Kentucky Legend Petite Ham for a smaller gathering: All are easy to cook and carve. Plus, you’ll find a digital coupon for $3 off a half or whole Kentucky Legend Ham.

Want something “egg-stra” special for your holiday feast? The Meat Department boasts all types of roasts, such as the best Certified Angus Beef bottom round rump, top round, eye of round and sirloin tip. Indulge in a Certified Angus Beef Choice Standing Rib Roast or the finest cut Certified Angus Beef Prime Boneless Rib Eye Roast. Prime beef is the most tender and juicy meat grade. Of all the beef produced in the U.S., only 2% is USDA certified prime.

Lamb lover? USA-raised Chiappetti Lamb comes in a whole or half leg or choose a rack of lamb for a special treat.

Looking for more flavor with less fuss? The Meat Department makes Easter easy with turkey – Jennie-O Boneless Turkey Breast cooks in the bag and Butterball fully cooked oven-roasted turkey breast just needs to be warmed in the oven.
