While you can keep your leftover Easter ham in the fridge for up to a week, we know you’ll likely want to extend its shelf life. Although there are plenty of great ways to use leftover ham, you might not want to be eating ham for the next few weeks straight! So, grab your trusty freezer bags or heavy-duty airtight Tupperware and let’s freeze the ham for other meals down the road!
Next week is St. Patrick’s Day! We love an excuse to gather the family around the table, eat delicious food and celebrate.

This is your friendly reminder that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! If planning a romantic dinner has slipped your mind, no need to fret! We have got you covered!

Spragg’s is known for our Alberta raised, sustainably farmed, free-range pork (and we are very proud of that). But, you may not know that we also support many other local farmers and producers. Throughout the year, our meat shops in Calgary and Rosemary carry a wide array of local proteins, seasonal produce, our very own spice blends, and more! Today, we’re pleased to highlight a very special local product that we carry: Philpott Honey!
Grab your slow cooker folks because we have claimed this to be the BEST slow cooker pork tenderloin recipe.

If you've been shopping with us for a while, you've probably noticed that we switched to vacuum-sealed packaging last fall. We are – and have always been – committed to providing the best meats Alberta has to offer. Our new and improved packaging prevents bacterial growth and ensures cuts stay fresher longer, without any added cost to you, our customers.
Schnitzel is a traditional German dish where meat is pounded into thin, tender cutlets, breaded, and pan-fried to perfection. The breading creates a crispy crust around the meat, which locks in all of the flavours and juices, resulting in a belly-warming, comforting meal.
