How long does it keep?

Cooked ham will keep for about 3-5 days, covered in the fridge. The leftovers are delicious and a great addition to your favorite breakfast recipe, sandwich, or soup.

The slices of leftover ham can be enjoyed cold, or gently reheated in the oven at 275F. If reheating, it’s best to reheat slices rather than the whole ham. Cover them with foil so it doesn’t dry out, and heat until warmed through.

How long does it take to cook ham?

The general rule of thumb is that ham needs to be baked for about 15 minutes per pound at 275F. The ham pictured was about 8 lbs. and took two hours.

If you have an instant read thermometer, it should register at a minimum of 145F.

What do you serve it with?

This honey mustard maple glazed ham is a perfect centerpiece for any feast. It’s great to serve with all of your usual veggie and potato sides. Try it with:

  • Roasted Red Potatoes
  • Glazed Carrots
  • Loaded Smashed Potatoes
  • Baked Green Beans
  • Fondant Potatoes

Tips!

  • This glaze can be used on any size or type of ham. If you have extra glaze leftover you can store it covered in the fridge, for up to a week. It also makes a great dipping sauce!
  • When slicing a half ham like this one, you can cut around the center bone in a circular motion to free as many slices as possible. Then you can cut them again into your desired size.
  • Ham bones make excellent soups! Whether it’s , Split Pea Ham, or any other soup the bone helps add so much flavor to the broth!
