Ideas For Using Up Leftovers for Your Honey Ham
For leftovers, I love to eat ham a day or two as is and then incorporate it into other dishes so we don’t get tired of eating the exact same things. I like to dice up the ham and create omelets or even just scrambled eggs for ham for breakfast. For lunch and dinners, I might use some ham for ham and beans, ham and dumplings, toss it in with some au gratin potatoes, or Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Blue. It helps you to utilize the leftovers but not feel like you are stuck eating a ham the same way over and over again.
This ham is great for any holiday or a weekday meal. I know if you make this you will really enjoy the sweet and savory taste of this juicy ham. Happy cooking!

My ham isn’t spiral cut, but should work still, right? And the liquid from the can of pineapple is enough?! Thanks, love your recipes!
Adventures of a Nurse commented
yes 🙂
Adrianne commented
Was your ham thawed or frozen? Would it be okay to make frozen?
Sian Leitz commented
7 lb of ham is a lot for my husband and I. How would this be amended for a 3 or 4 pound ham? It sounds delicious!
Blair commented
I made this tonight using a 3 pound ham. Followed the recipe exactly as written, using same measurements and cook time and it turned out perfect!
Heather commented
what is /2 cup of brown sugar? Is that supposed to be 1/2 cup or 2 cups?
Samantha commented
Are you using a fully cooked ham?
Jennifer commented
I’m wondering the same thing. I have a smoked half-ham in the freezer from one of our pigs and would love to give it a try!

How is it browned?
Gina commented
I’m not a pineapple fine. Have you tried this without the pineapple and just used water instead?
Jill commented
Mine always burns on the bottom from all the sugar.
Monica Zipay commented
Is there enough liquid in this recipe so you won’t get a “burn” notice?
Shelley P. commented
This looks delicious. However, I have a question – the written recipe says to set the IP at 15 minutes but the video shows the IP being set at 30 minutes – which is correct?
Adventures of a Nurse commented
it’s 15 m inutes 🙂
