If you love quick comfort food that helps stretch your holiday ham, you’re in the right place. Let’s make that leftover ham work for you.

Best Leftover Ham Recipes

Ham is a traditional main coarse for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at our house. It’s also a favorite for any celebration. Ham’s are perfect for feeding a crowd.

How Long Does Cooked Ham Keep?

Store leftover ham in the refrigerator for three to five days. If you find yourself with quite a bit of ham leftover, just cut it into small portions and store in a zip top freezer bag. Freeze for up to two months.

We often make a Peach and Ginger Glazed Ham or this Easy Brown Sugar Glazed Ham for our holiday dinners and I always make sure to save the ham bone.

Don’t toss that ham bone, it has a ton of flavor! Just add it to a zip top freezer bag and freeze for up to three months and use it for your next pot of pinto beans or crock pot black eyed peas.
