Canned Ham? What to do With It?!!?!


Question: I recieved a canned ham and have no idea what to do with it! I know that I am supposed to heat it up, but how long? I am thinking that a glaze might be a good thing, but I don't know? Do I make sandwiches or serve it sliced? I am a pretty good cook, but this one has me stumped. What the heck do you do with a canned ham?!

Take it out and rinse it off score it then you can cover it in many things...
Try putting it in a roasting pan and pouring mango juice over in and filling the pan up half an inch with the juice put sliced pineapple on top of the ham, cover in foil and cook for about an hour, till the pineapple start to brown.

You can also put grape jelly on the outside.

I actually take the ham, cut a 3/4 of an inch hole through the center and fill it will cranberrys (fresh) and some cranberry sause (mix the sause and cranberries together) then I pour Chardonnay (I use Arbor Mists mixed fruit one) over the top.

When you slice it make sure you slice it so every slice have the filling in the middle.. and the ham is in kind of a donut shape. I put a little extra of the cranberry mixture on the side, and server it with something lihgt like a salad or I make a potato and cabbage casserole.

Hope this helps... But there are many things you can do with a canned Ham

THROW IT AWAY. OHGOD. It is meat in a CAN! Humans should never eat canned meat! It's just frightening.

Take it, and go buy a fruit tree if you don't already have one.. Bury the ham under the tree, it will rot and give you sweet tasting fruit..

Remove your ham from the can and rinse it off (it will have a jellied substance on it!) Score your ham and then pat on a mixture of brown sugar, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and dried mustard. Bake it for about 15 minutes per pound to warm it thru.

if your a "pretty good cook " then you shouldnt have any problem as to what to to with it. give it to the neighbors those kids will get rid of it for you real fast . if your that scared of it.

It is very much like Spam and can be sliced and cooked or cubed and thrown into a salad or into sandwiches etc

I agree throw it away (or feed it to the dog), you can use it like any ham, you don't need to heat it up or anything you can use it sliced in sanga's or sliced in a salad on pizza etc but it is revolting! It would just be mean putting it in a food drive.

Hit the canned ham haters in the head with it. Then do the brown sugar thing.

Put maple syrup on it, apples, applesause, and heat it in the oven at 325 Degrees for 1 hour thanks*

Ham isn't one of my favorite entrees - I like it better when a little is used as an ingredient. You could use your's to make split pea soup, jambalaya or arroz con pollo maybe.

** trim it very neatly, remove all the jelly, then slice it thin, put on the slices a spread made of cream cheese / fresh herbs / and some cream, then place all in one direction some very thin julliened gherkin pickle and roll them up **** put on a serving platter some slices of 7-grain bread, some fresh butter and the ham rolls

Throw it out.

If it is a real ham,baste it with a good glazed.Slice it up and enjoy.I have seen those that are like processed luncheon meat.Those slice for sandwiches....
