Post # 3. I just used up the last of the ham and it had been in the fridge for a week. I'm usually leary about keeping leftovers for more than a couple of days, but I figured the ham is salted and cured so it should be okay for a few additional days.
How long can ham or corned beef last in the refrigerator before it goes bad? If it were a piece of cooked pork chop or steak, the answer would be about three to five days. However, ham and corned beef is cured with salt, which is a meat preservation technique. Shouldn't it last longer?
