ham has a lot of salt and curing, so I would say about two weeks. Freeze what you're not going to use right away and make the rest into soup or ham salad or whatever.Got ham on 12/26/08 how long before it needs to go into freezer or be cooked into recipes?
If it hasn't been opened, it should have an expiration date on it. Go by that. But, it should last a couple of weeks refrigerated (it's been cured). If it's been opened, I find that ham goes bad after a few days. It gets all slimy and sour smelling.
When is the expiration date? It needs togo in by the expiration date.
it is not able to go in the freezer now you need to make sandwiches and use it when you can when cooking
