I thought of making a ham and pine apple pizza. I froze my ham into ziploc plastic storage bags till I figure out what I will make with it (soup, sandwiches, pizza etc) and it is in the freezer compartment of my fridge.
I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to find creative, non-boring recipes for the leftover ham. If nothing else, cube it up and freeze it for sometime in the future.





As far as the ham bone, toss it in split pea soup, bean soup, or toss it in the freezer and save it for NYDay to make Hoppin' John!

Hey Gypsy,


I am country as a ham so I can tell ya what I do...





I make me a pot of pinto beans and as they cook I put ham...bone and all...into the pot...the result is Primo Mucho!





Good luck, there are heaps of great answers here.
you could do a lot of stuff with ham. chowders, carbonara, filet mignon, fried rice yang chow style and with ham bone. you can broil it to make good sauces and glaze..
honey. you got LEFTOVER ham? didn't know such a thing could happen! buy dried split peas and put them on to cook with the ham bone or most any dried bean or pea. you can also chop a little ham and stir it in at the end, before serving. chop up an onion and carrot to cook along with the ham bone. stir cubed ham into hot rice along with frozen mixed vegetables for a ';pilaff';. slice it and freeze it in little zipper bags, individual portion size, for sandwiches and ';huevos rancheros'; (ham and eggs with taco sauce). stir it into hot cooked macaroni and cheese for a casserole... remember to not buy another one for New Years!!

As for the ham bone, it is great for putting into a pot of pinto or navy bean soup, provides great flavor. Simply sort the beans for rocks, discolored and broken beans, place beans in pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Drain beans, place back in pot and cover with fresh water. Add ham bone. Bring to a simmer and simmer 2-3 hours until beans are tender and broth is flavorful. May add salt and pepper to taste.

~Great in fried rice with carrots, green onions, broccoli, scrambled eggs, and soy sauce.





If you absolutely can't face another ham meal for a while, put it in the freezer for a while--it'll taste great when you haven't had it for a month or so.
With left over ham after Christmas, we just have salads for the next week for dinner and also ham sandwiches.

these are three really really good recipes, I hope you can use some.
Make a chicken and ham pie, thats quite nice ..................
The ham bone, if boiled, with some bay leaves and an onion will make a really nice soup stock! You could then make a pea and ham soup! I have divided the left overs up into seperate meals. I will make a ham and mushroom pasta, and I have also cut some slices and left in the fridge for people to pick on. The rest I have frozen and will use some for breakfast with egg, I will more than likely make a casserole too ... putting some ham into a dish, throwing some sort of sauce over and cook in the oven until heated through, serving with potato's and veg!! I am already tired of the sight of ham, so I reckon the freezer will be full for awhile to come. Definately making the soup though!!
