I doubt there's much risk with a cured ham that was cooked, but to be
safe I'd cook it again; fried ham slices, bean soup... I'd not feed it
to young children or anyone with a compromised immune system. Fry a
couple of slices to eat as a test, if you feel okay within 24 hours
it's be okay to eat. I'll assume you now have it in the fridge.
