50 classic ham recipes
Within the U.S., the ham and bacon market is worth some $9 billion as of 2025. That number is expected to grow annually by 3.2% between 2025 and 2030.
But that's not just because ham prices are going up across the country. Prior to Easter Sunday on April 20, 2025, boneless hams rang up at $4.31 per pound, the highest price of the past decade. Time will tell if these steep costs stop Americans from buying their beloved holiday hams, since Easter tends to be when they're most popular. According to an April 2025 report from Instacart, orders for honey-baked hams jumped by 425% during Easter weekend in 2024.
While ham is a quintessential part of many holiday dinners, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, too, this flavorful cut of meat makes for excellent eats all year round. In fact, there are literally dozens of other ways to prepare and incorporate this protein beyond that succulent, spiral-cut ham we all know and love.
In celebration of this sometimes overlooked meat, Stacker has highlighted some of these alternative methods, compiling a list of 50 ham recipes from Allrecipes. Read on to see if one of them inspires your next festive meal!
