Yes, I think the best part of serving a ham for the holidays is having lots of leftovers. I have fond childhood memories of sliced ham on a warm dinner roll. Of course, now my choice would be a whole wheat roll and the ham HAS to be from Whole Foods Market. It really makes a difference! Our hams are from pigs raised to meet our high standards, which means:
- Raised with no antibiotics – ever
- Raised with no added growth hormones*
- No animal byproducts in the feed
- No added nitrates or nitrites
- Raised without gestation or farrowing crates
*Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising pork
In addition, our hams contain no artificial ingredients or preservatives. No water is added, so they are full of flavor. Check out our website for
tips on cooking ham and to
learn more about the farms where the animals are raised.
We’ve pulled together a few ideas for serving up those ham leftovers. Ham soup is a classic. Check out this version:

Beyond favorites such as ham sandwiches and ham soup, try:
Ham and eggs are a legendary combination and they work well together served side by side breakfast-style, or as a frittata, omelet or quiche.
Cubed ham makes a great addition to your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe as well as in scalloped or au gratin potatoes. Leftover ham can add nice flavor to fried rice and is a perfect seasoning for collard or turnip greens.
So, how are you serving up leftover ham this season?
