Frequently Asked Questions

How long does ham last?

In the fridge, wrapped well or stored in an airtight container between 4-7 days.

Can I freeze leftover ham?

Yes! Wrap cooled ham well, store in an airtight container or freezer baggie from 3-4 months. Thaw and use in some of these delicious recipes.

How do you moisten leftover ham?

If you just want to enjoy a repeat of your sliced cooked ham, place the desired number of slices in a shallow casserole dish, then follow below:
Pour about ½ cup of broth (ham, chicken, veggie or beef) over the ham and reheat in a 325° F (165° C) oven covered for about 20-25 minutes.

How can you tell if ham is spoiled?

Rely mostly on your senses, give it a good sniff. If it smells sour, is slimy or has turned a gray color it has most likely spoiled.
