Can you freeze a precooked spiral ham?

I do to keep it moist! This Christmas my ham was 8.44 lbs. I baked at 250 covered for 2 hours. I made a brown sugar glaze ( br sugar + a tiny bit of h20 -like 1 tsp + honey - glaze needs to be very thick!) The last 10 mins raise temp to 425. Cook ham packed with glaze uncovered for 10 mins. Take out, enjoy!

Is pork unsafe if frozen for a long period of time?

According to the USDA, properly frozen meats remain safe indefinitely. However, the quality of the meat may degrade the longer it is frozen. They recommend these storage times, in number of months, at 0 degrees Fahrenheit:

Ham, Hotdogs and Lunchmeats1 to 2 months

Meat, uncooked roasts4 to 12Meat, uncooked steaks or chops4 to 12Meat, uncooked ground3 to 4Meat, cooked2 to 3

You may also determine quality after thawing. The USDA recommends:

First check the odor. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded. Some may not look picture perfect or be of high enough quality to serve alone but may be edible; use them to make soups or stews.

How long to refrigerate spiral ham?

Usually there is a date on the ham for how long you can keep it. Many times I find cured hams have a refrigeration life of a month or two. After you open it, it should be good for 3+ days. Whatever you cannot eat within a couple of days, should be stored in the freezer with proper packaging. I find cutting it all up and putting it in multiple packages so I don't take out any more than I need at a time. I use the ham bone and scraps for soup, such as lentil, split pea and/or bean soup for a great change of pace.

Can you refreeze cooked corned beef?

The first item, corned beef is such a lovely joint, the brisket, does contain a good % of water. Once the corned beef is sliced and/or cut down to whatever your desired cut, you can freeze and keep it in the freezer no longer than 6 months. Consequently, once you thaw whatever kind of pickled brisket, corned beef, pastrami, or Montreal meat is going to weep water to good extent, as a direct result from simply freezing it. If you've got a corned beef & cabbage casserole made, it will keep in the freezer. Just be aware that once this type of meat has been pickled in brine, it now has all of it's pores filled with water. You may have to press moisture from the meat alone, combined with cabbage, it will keep. If this is the case, who knows, the excess moisture may lend itself in some form of a broth. Be very aware of your salt levels, when I cure some meat, like fish for example, the first main ingredients are salt and sugar, then additions that are irrelevant to your question.Please remember though, corned beef is the result of being pickled in a BRINE which is saltwater.
