How long does cooked ham last?

You can keep cooked ham in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months. I like to package my ham for the freezer in smaller sized bags so that I can just thaw a little at a time as needed to make these recipes.

How do you store cooked ham?

The best way to store your cooked ham is to slice it off the bone, then store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you’re planning to freeze your ham, I like to dice it into chunks, then package it in freezer store bags.

How to reheat leftover ham

If you just want to reheat your ham instead of using one of these recipes, you can reheat your ham by placing it in a baking dish covered with foil and baking it at 275 degrees until warmed through. If you’re reheating a whole ham, you can plan on heating it for 10 minutes per pound. For sliced ham, plan on 5-7 minutes per pound of ham.

Ham is too good to let it go to waste. Try transforming it into something amazing. With all these great ham recipes, you’ll find yourself looking forward to your leftovers just as much as the main holiday meal!
