SERVING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon receiving, remove it from the box and outside packaging material leaving it within the heavy-duty freezer bag and gold foil it arrives in. If you do not plan to serve it within the next few days, immediately put it in the freezer, keeping it again in the same foil and freezer wrap packaging. Otherwise put it in the refrigerator and enjoy in the next few days. Remember unless freezing your ham or turkey should be consumed within 7-10 days. For maximum freshness and flavor, your ham or turkey should be used within 45-60 days of freezing. Allow three days to thaw in the refrigerator before serving at room temperature.

This sometimes becomes mandatory if trying to ship the same week as Thanksgiving or sometimes Christmas so plan ahead. Remember our ham and turkeys freeze wonderfully as they are not water injected as some hams are. You can even refreeze leftovers! Expedited shipping can be added at check out.
