Trying to come up with ways of getting rid of Christmas left overs. Finished off the turkey tonight with this jewel...

Note: You can substitute stivia for honey.

I also used braised cranberries instead of grapes. Flamed them with a bit of cognag.

Any favorites? Got to get rid of this ham . Tough to do when you don't do sandwiches any more.

I made small omeletes with the ham. I didn't have it for Christmas though because I had a lot from Thanksgiving and decided against baking the extra food.

everything but the meat went to the trash or home with relatives. my husband smoked two pork butts and pulled the meat. With those leftovers, we used the food saver and sucked 12 separate meals. I would highly recommend a food saver. I can portion everything. and nothing is ever thrown out because of freezer burn.

I boil the turkey carcass and make stock which I will use for turkey Soup during cold and flu season. I like to torture viruses with extra garlic and chilies.

I LOVE my foodsaver its been a lifesaver with the left overs!

I slice up the ham into chunks, and then freeze it for use in omelets, frittatas, Soups or for seasoning or larger portions to be served on the side with beans/veggies (love turnip greens or green Beans with ham!)

Never had any issues with freezing ham as long as you squeeze out most of the air. Keeps for months and I don't taste any difference when used in dishes.

I freeze ham. The chunks and bits are reserved for bean soups and quiche ande the slices for regular eating. I froze leftover ribs, meatballs, sausage balls. I don't feel bad for tossing potato salad or casserole at all. I don't eat but a small amount and in the end game, it's gone whether someone eats it or I throw it away. With the second option, I'm healthier, so...

Foodsaver is the way to go! Be lost without mine!
