Tips for using leftover ham

Plan ahead and select a few of the meals you'd like to make using your leftover ham. When putting away your holiday meal, portion out the amount of ham you'll need for your planned recipes.

Freeze portions of ham in a freezer-safe bag if you can't create your recipe in more than 3 or 4 days. Label the freezer bag with the name (ham) and the amount of ham.

If your ham recipe needs diced ham, cut up your ham before adding to a freezer bag or container. This makes meal prep that much easier.

For any meal you are planning on the day following a holiday, purchase all your ingredients for the leftover meal ahead of time.

Don't worry if you run out of your holiday ham before getting a chance to make all these delicious recipes. You can always purchase deli ham or just bake another ham!
