Cooked ham will eventually go bad. Spoilage can only be delayed. Within an hour or two of cooking, separate the ham into smaller portions that will cool quickly. Then wrap and refrigerate. Plan to use it within 5-7 days.

If more storage time is needed, the ham could possibly be frozen - but not all types of ham freeze well.

How long can I keep cooked shanked ham in the refrigerator How long can I keep a cooked shanked ham in the refrigerator?

As long as it is in a sealed container and the refrigerator is set to 39 degrees (the optimum temperature), cooked meats such as ham will stay fresh for up to 10 days or so. However, the presence of any unusual odor when you open the container, or any mold or growth on any food indicates that it is spoiled and should be discarded. In my house, these are referred to as "science experiments".
