Common questions
- Can I use bacon or Canadian bacon instead of ham in recipes?
- Canadian bacon works well as a 1:1 substitute and has a similar flavor, though it's leaner and may cook faster. Regular bacon is much smokier and saltier, so use it sparingly or reduce other salt in the recipe.
- How long can I keep leftover cooked ham in the refrigerator?
- Cooked ham keeps for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge, or you can freeze it for up to 2 months for longer storage.
- What are some budget-friendly sides to serve with ham?
- Inexpensive sides like rice, beans, roasted potatoes, coleslaw, and steamed greens pair well with ham and stretch the meal affordably.
- How can I reduce the sodium in ham recipes?
- Soak diced or sliced ham in water for 30 minutes before cooking to leach out some salt, or look for low-sodium ham varieties at the grocery store.
