Ways to Use Leftover Ham
There are many ways to use leftover ham. As mentioned it works for sandwiches or for breakfast. More ways to use leftover ham:
- Make Ham Spread – Like a chicken salad but made with ham, hard-boiled eggs and relish.
- Ham and Eggs – Ham goes great with eggs. You can make a ham omelet, or just serve pan-fried ham on the side.
- Fried Ham – Serve fried ham slices with mash potatoes or rice.
- Ham Fried Rice – Use this recipe for Healthier Fried Rice and use ham as the protein.
Instant Pot Ham
- 3-5 pound spiral ham
- 20 ounce can pineapple chunks with juice (reserve juice)
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- toothpicks
Grab your trivet and place inside the inner pot of pressure cooker. Pour in 1 cup water. Place foil sling on trivet–this will help you when you remove the ham after it has cooked.
TIP: A foil sling is a piece of aluminum foil (big enough like you are covering a casserole dish) folded length wise about 1″ wide over and over again until you are done.
Add the pineapple juice, honey, and brown sugar. Whisk until mixed thoroughly.
Place ham on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold up sides of the foil, to make a bowl-like shape around the ham. Gently separate slices of spiral ham. Pour glaze over ham.
Using a toothpick, add pineapples to the top of the ham and securely wrap foil around ham. Place ham on a trivet inside the pressure cooker. If you are using a sling, add it now.
Put your Instant Pot on High for 2 minutes per pound. Allow to release naturally for at least 10 minutes and then you can do a quick release. By allowing the ham to rest after the cooking process, this will allow for a more moist ham!
Serve and enjoy!
