Notes
Storage. Leftover ham should be stored in an airtight food-safe container or plastic freezer bag in the refrigerator within two hours. Consume or freeze within four days.
Freezing. Transfer any remaining ham to a plastic freezer bag or vacuum seal. Consume within three months. Allow the ham to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Reheating. Individual ham slices can be reheated on high for up to one minute in the microwave. If you are trying to reheat a lot of sliced ham, place it in a covered casserole dish to keep the slices from drying out and, and bake at 250 degrees F for 45 minutes to one hour until heated through.
