What should I make with leftover FRESH ham (already roasted)

I know ham is an easy piece to dry out, and it can't be smoked, since it's already roasted. Can it become bbq? Should I throw it in the crock with some kraut?

I need ideas...

Get a ready made pizza crust. Put on tomato sauce. Slice ham thin and cover pizza with it. Add applegrove Jan 2012 #9

Lighly brown in a little butter to heat through. Yummy. If you like pineapple you can serve with it. You can also deglaze the skillet with pineapple juice and make a sauce. Yummy.

cut into 1 inch cubes... Cook on low for 8-10 hours.. Serve with a bit of cheddar cheese as soup or drain a bit and serve over rice. Yum. Comfort food for wintery days!

fry up 1/4 inch cubes of ham, then fry shredded cabbage in the same pan, deglaze with vinegar, add salt and pepper to taste.

11. what do you mean by fresh ham

Are you talking about the butt cut before it is smoked. Just the white meat not the red stuff that most folks call ham. I grew up calling the cut of pork used to make ham-----fresh ham

If you have what I call fresh ham you are lucky. It can be used for pulled pork sammies, tacos, enchilades, its even lovely with tomato sauce as a rahu over pasta.

So do you have red ham. Or do you have pork roast?

It is good with saurkraut and roast potatoes too

I mistakenly bought it roasted it in a sort of Spanish recipe (sherry, oregano, etc) and now I have this left over cooked, but not CURED ham.

Not red-pink like what we traditionally call ham, served with pineapples, or cherries, or whatever, more like roasted dark brown on top, and sort of "pork roast colored" through the middle.

What you aren't eating with saurkraut, potatoes and gravy can go into a tortilla for wrapps or with barbeque sauce on a bun. And don't rule out throwing it in some tomato
sauce over a wider pasta
