Let's be honest, holidays can sometimes be so crazy that it can be really tempting to just go out to eat. But then you won't have leftovers. And everyone knows the best part of holiday meals is the leftovers. Maybe the day after you enjoy your glazed ham want to relive the holiday meal as you enjoyed it, but then it's fun and delicious to get creative.
Cooked ham will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you are not going to use it up before then, leftover ham does freeze well. Be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in a plastic freezer storage bag or covering it again in a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. For best quality, you'll want to eat it within 3-4 months, but it is safe to eat for even longer as long as it has been kept frozen.
So whether you need to use it up right away or you freeze it for later, you still need ideas to repurpose that ham!

Sandwiches: Whether you add slices to a grilled cheese, stuff it into sliders, or make ham salad, there isn't much better than a good ham sandwich.
