walshie 2,804 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 'Er indoors managed to buy the biggest ham on the bone you've ever seen. We've been eating it for 3 days now and it hardly looks touched. Anyone know how long these last in the fridge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ham freezes well cut a chunk off it wrap in foil, then in an airtight bag, if you can vacume pack all the better and stick it in the freezer. It will last 6 months no problem. Cut in half honey gazed ham ready to be frozen. TC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,764 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Air dried ham (serrano/parma etc) will last years, outside the fridge, some of them can be up to 2 or more years old when you buy them... a 'normal' ham (boiled/baked) needs to be refrigerated or frozen. When I used to buy half a pig to process, I always used to make a ham from the back leg. Once it was cured/brined for the correct length of time, and then cooked, I would slice it and vaccuum pack it for freezing. It lasted ages. You don't need a vaccuum packer, just a food grade polythene bag with the air removed, then sealed with a twist wire.. Only me and her here now so haven't bothered with the half pig for ages now.
