Do you keep it in a container or bag? Ham likes to have a little air.

The other option is salting it but that's not so good.

Unpasteurized honey is anti-bacterial and is used as a preservative too.

Rinse it under cold water and dry it well with paper towels after every use. Works.

yeah, us too, porridge every other day, in between, I have a great pancake recipe I use, and I put all of
the same toppings on the pancakes that I put on the porridge.
bananas, ground sesame seeds/flax, yogurt, a bit of granola, mixed fresh fruit, works for porridge and
pancakes, very healthy and yummy.
and orange juice, to wash down all the vitamins.
we then go till about 2 or 3 oclock till the next meal, and that is it, till a 'small' snack about 8/9.
i'm not much for ham, except in a snadwitch once in a while.
stopped eating bacon, eggs, potatoes, toast, coffee a long time ago, and never looked back, and realized
how that breakfast did nothing for energy, or feeling real good for the day, all of that grease just
laid in the tummy and did nothing good at all, I should have wised up to that breakfast years ago.
if we have eggs now, with anything else, it is for dinner, and I only have one coffee a day, and that is
with afternoon meal.
nothing I have said helps you at all concerning slimy ham. Maybe take it out of the package, and
store it differently, also maybe rinse it under tap to get all the coating off before you store it.

Cooking a picnic ham makes for less salty ham, particularly if you change the water once or twice during cooking.

no the ones I cook, but I would agree with 'most' pancakes, that is why I do the recipe I have, full
of quality ingredients, and with the added toppings, stays with us for hours.
the white ones are the empty ones, with syrup and butter, yuk, just like eating candy.

Sure wish I could get my wife to use it (and brown rice) but to no avail!
then I add a bit of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, 1 egg. milk, and some melted butter.
I fool around with amounts to make recipe small, so that is 'winging' it, just had to go by trial and
error till it was just right.
mix dry ingredients together, mix milk, melted butter and egg, add dry ingredients.
DON'T STIR TOO MUCH, the less you stir the more tasty the pancakes.
approx 1 cup of flour, approx 1/2 milk. for two pancakes.
very very tasty with- butter on top, yogurt, granola, mixed fresh/frozen fruit plus the juice), ground
sesame seeds/flax, few walnuts on top, cranberries.
I sprinkle the sesame seed/flax ground mixture over the top of everything, then 'enjoy'.
I have two small pans, so I fill both of them, for two nice sized pancakes, not too big, not too small.
Tastes so down-home and yummy, and you will not be hungry for a long time.
If you buy whole sesame seeds and whole flax seeds, then grind them together in the
coffee grinder, and put the ground mixture in freezer, and use each day.
Our bodies will not digest whole seeds, they need to be ground up, the whole ones
will keep in the cupboard, but the ground ones won't.

The solution? Get yourself a couple of hundred pounds of dogs. No left overs.
No slimy ham. No problem.
(P.S. Big dogs can be a handfull. That little girl in the pic is 33yrs old.)
A Bakers Dozen of Chihuahua's, or maybe forty or so of them, would take care
of most of your left over ham issue I would assume.

I don't know what breakfast ham is. We usually buy an eight or ten pound
smoked ham. You can buy either the but or the shank portion. I normally
put the whole ham in a large pot and cover it with water, then simmer it
for about three hours. Pour off the water and remove the skin and any fat.
I would then brush on a honey garlic glaze and bake the ham at 325
degrees for about three hours. This method gets rid of a lot of the salt
and we never get slime.
