So now that I've cooked ham #1, and dh had a nice large peice for dinner....how long can the rest of it last without molding?

I just took the electric knife and sliced it all up and put it in a plastic ziplock container. probably not the best thing. It's right about now that I wish I had a food saver machine {sigh}

He informed me he doesnt like ham in sandwhiches and since he's not a veggie/egg/soup eater that cuts out a lot of other options.

For myself I can see making ham/swiss sandwhiches and ham/spinach omelletes but still that won't be very much eaten up by me

oh yeah, so my basic question was, can sliced cooked ham be frozen and still edible/tasty after it's dethawed/reheated?

Yes, you can slice and freeze it. I do it all the time. If uncooked it'll keep for about 6-9 months and cooked it should last about 4 months? just a guess on that one.

Heather, my aunt has a recipe for ham meatballs with a sweet pineapple sauce...It is soooo good!!! I'll phone her today and get it for you. She serves it with rice.

And Elise is right, you can freeze ham.

Lots of times when I have extra ham that I know we won't be using up I cube it and put it in portion sizes in freezer bags and then I have it on hand for soups, stews, I also make a white sauce with cheese and add ham cubes and serve it over toasted bread or buns.
