⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
As a cured meat, it is typically high in sodium, which can be a concern for those monitoring blood pressure. To counteract this, pair it with potassium-rich foods like leafy greens or sweet potatoes, and drink plenty of water. The added sugars in the glaze can also cause blood sugar spikes; balance it by serving with non-starchy vegetables and a source of healthy fat.

FAQ
Is this the same as a fresh ham?
No. This is a cured ham, meaning it has been treated with salt and often other ingredients for preservation and flavor before being cooked. A fresh ham is uncured and must be fully cooked before eating.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate sliced ham in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze slices separated by parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 1-2 months.
Can I eat the glaze if I'm watching my sugar intake?
The glaze is typically high in sugar. You can scrape it off, or opt for a ham labeled 'un-glazed' or 'with natural juices only' to control your own seasoning.
