I don’t think that you can keep a ham frozen to long, my mom just frozen them for like a week or two
3-4 months depending on how you freeze it, I have a food saver vacuum,
IT WILL LAST IF IT IS FROZEN, BUT IT WILL NOT LAST THAT LONG IF IT IS BEEN SITTING TELL CHRISTMAS.
Multiple sites indicate that 3-4 months is tops. However, I have used after 6 months and it seemed fine if placed in well sealed freezer bag that was not much larger then ham portion being frozen.
6 months if you seal it good…I have!
Tha traditional answer: You can keep it frozen for about 3-4 weeks. But remember that there have been scientists who found mammoths frozen in the permafrost, and actually defrosted and ate the meat, thousands of years later. And they lived! So I wouldn’t worry too much about that ham. Hope you enjoy it…oh, and don’t forget to bring that cabernet to room temperature
