- 3 pounds cooked ham
Instructions
- Let the ham cool down before you prepare it to be frozen. Leave it covered on the kitchen counter, and transfer it to the fridge when it’s cool enough.
- Most recipes call for 8oz portions of ham. If your ham is on the bone, uncut or spiralized, cut it off the bone into 8oz pieces or slices, depending on how you plan to use it.
- Pat the ham dry with paper towels or a kitchen cloth to remove moisture.
- Wrap the ham in plastic, ensuring all the air is out.
- Transfer to resealable plastic bags or vacuum-sealable bags.
- Label the packages with the date you’re freezing them.
- If you have a kitchen scale, add the weight of the portion.
- Place the ham in the freezer.
