YES....the ham on the left (in the first, raw photo) is the butchered ham.
We got it last May, so it's been in the freezer for 10-11 months. It was wrapped in plastic and white freezer paper.
That may be the very thing that made them different.
Dumb question, but......how long can I expect to store meat that's not been vacuum sealed without this happening? I'm assuming vacuum sealing will also help this? At least I hope, cuz I've sure done a LOT of it lately!
