did it taste salty and how do you prepare it? how many people did it serve?

It's more salty than regular boiled ham, but not much. To prepare:soak ham in cold water for at least 24 hrschange water at least 5 timeswith a stiff brush remove all pepper and mildew on hamplace ham in large cooking pot and cover with watersimmer slowly, not boil, for as many hours as it takes to get a meat thermometer to reach 165FIt's now "done". You can glaze the ham with 3T brown sugar, 1C Coca Cola, 2T yellow or brown mustard, 1/2 C plain bread crumbs and enough water to spoon over ham.Preheat oven to 375F, place ham in large pot or cookie sheey with raised edges for 5 minutes.Then spoon on glaze and return to oven for additional 15 minutes.You can slice the ham in many different ways. Some cut the ham in half and saw through the bone. Others, including Europeans, thinly slice the ham lengthwise starting on the meatier side an go all the way down to the bone, turn it over and do it again.

Does it come in larger sizes?

No. They are currently running about 3.25 pounds on average. We don't know how many we be able to provide this season, but it could be less than last year so don't delay and order today.

how long can one of these hams be kept at room temperature once it is received? -thanks

This is a dry cured ham like they did in the colonial days. They did not have refrigeration back then. We post a conservative guideline of 10 days non-refrigerated, 8 Weeks Refrigerated, 6+ months Frozen on the product page.
