I think we have all oversized at some point in time. Errr and sometimes we undersize.You probably only needed a 1.5 lb boneless ham for the 4 of you maybe 2 lbs to have leftovers; if bone in 2 lbs would have been fine or 2.25 lbs with leftovers.We did ham. It was 9.68 lbs. Yet they say minus almost half the weight for the bone with turkey or ham. The 4 of us ate 2-3 slivers of ham. Did traditional sides, I even downsized those from the year before and still have so much leftover. I literally have probably 5lbs of ham and almost 4lbs of sides that are leftover.
So now it's time to figure out what to do with those leftovers. Slice the meat off the bone in large pieces and off to the freezer they go. Leave some meat on the bone and make a nice pot of beans..whatever kind you like! lentil or split pea soup is the norm on my end but that doesn't mean one couldn't use the bone in black or white Northern beans instead. Make a quiche for dinner some night with your fav veggie added, I'm partial to broccoli or asparagus but there is a big veggie world out there. Serve ham steaks as a quick meal. Make a ham pie and include some of the sides as a pie base a la shepherd's pie. Reheat some ham slices with a cider vinegar sauce and serve with your fav cheeses, a pear, maybe some slices of a Granny Smith apple, a bit of whole seed mustard, bread, a green salad and you will think you are dining @ Wilderness Lodge.
