Let’s be honest: the best part of a ham is the leftovers. Slice it for sandwiches, dice it for omelets, or fry it up for breakfast with eggs. That ham will keep in the fridge for five days if you wrap it tight. And yes, you can freeze it for months—just don’t forget about it in the back of your freezer like that sad bag of peas.
Pro tip: Make ham salad with mayo, pickle relish, and a little mustard. Spread it on crackers. You’ll feel like royalty, even in your pajamas.
One Last Thing: The Bone
Don’t throw away the bone! Toss it in a pot with beans, lentils, or split peas, and you’ve got soup gold. That ham bone is like a flavor grenade—one little blast and your soup goes from “meh” to “wow.” Freeze it until you’re ready, and thank me later.
