Woke this morning wanting pork. Butt or Ham?

Leeper · Dec 3, 2006

Not sure what is causing my craving this morning but I am in need of a good pork fix today.

I just pulled an 8 pound butt out of the freezer and have it defrosting in the sink. I plan on raiding the spice cabinet for some rub and mixing in bit of whatever sauce I have open in the fridge once pulled later this evening.

Here is my big question -

A couple days before turkey day I traded my pork guy for half a ham and it has been hiding in my fridge since then. It should probably be cooked up but there is no way I am going to be able to consume the pulled pork and a 10lb ham in the next couple days. Can I cook the ham, slice it up and vaccumbag freeze the meet for later? I have never really done anything with a ham and had planned on trying out that Mr. Chicken deal but never tracked down all the ingredients.

So to sum things up -
· I am going to cook both a butt and a ham today
· Thoughts on freezing sliced ham portions?
· Thoughts on how I should prepare the ham?
· How does one explain to their wife they just woke up today and wanted to spend it entirely surrounded by pork?

Thanks.

I've frozen cooked ham lots of times before with no problems. The meat might have a little different texture after thawing, I've had some that we just like when I finished cooking them, and some that had a little different texture. Not bad, just different. Cook and freeze away. I'm sure others will chime in soon with their opinions.

I vacpack all my smoked meats and use it for lunches all the time it will be fine. Just grab it and let it thaw and your good to go.
