When you've enjoyed a delicious ham dinner, it’s always satisfying to think about how to utilise the leftovers. There’s an abundance of creative ways to repurpose that succulent ham into delightful dishes. Consider whipping up a comforting ham and cheese quiche, perfect for brunch. Alternatively, a hearty ham and pea soup makes for a warming meal on a chilly evening. For something quick, try a ham and pineapple stir-fry or a classic ham sandwich with a tangy mustard spread.
As for storage, if you’ve got leftover ham, you’ll want to ensure it stays fresh. Generally, cooked ham can be stored in the fridge for about 3 to 5 days. If you need to keep it for longer, wrapping it tightly and placing it in the freezer can extend its life to around 1 to 2 months — ideal for those future meals you’re planning. Just remember to label and date it, so you don't lose track of your tasty treasures!
