I already know ham freezes well, but what I'm trying to figure out is how long I have before I absolutely must freeze the ham. Do I actually have well into December? Trust me, I wouldn't wait until the last minute, which might be December 31, as that's the date given on the ham as the eat or freeze by date. but am I okay into the beginning of December? Or should I apportion it and freeze earlier than then?
