    Someone just gave me one of these smoked, cooked hams.

    It is vacuum sealed in plastic. I'm wondering, since I don't want to serve it at a meal anytime soon, would it be OK to cut it into a few pieces, freeze them, and then use them for sandwiches or whatever at a later date? I've never frozen a ham like this before, and don't want to mess it up, since it looks pretty good?
    What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?

    I freeze it in small sandwich bags and heat it up for sandwiches in a pan, nice and crispy. :D

    (it may come out a bit dry and lose a bit of quality but thats always the risk of freezing)
    GOOD TIMES!

    Cured ham will freeze just fine. Last week I had an excellent sandwich of Kentucky ham I froze after last Christmas. It would be much better if you can vac-pack it, to hold down the freezer burn.

    I have a 16-pound Kentuckey ham in the fridge for Christmas. After the holiday, I will slice as much as possible for sandwiches, cut off the other chunks to be ground up for ham salad, and portion them, vac-pac each portion, and freeze. The bone is for split pea soup.
