Couldn't be more simple~ The bags will last several months. For the bigger hams I cut the ham up in chunks or slices and freeze it for any planned meals.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621490444516696992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-78655401103935449362010-09-01T13:10:05.886-07:002010-09-01T13:10:05.886-07:00How do you freeze it and how long does the meat la...How do you freeze it and how long does the meat last in the freezer?

I take off the layer of fat and set that aside for other uses and the meat I pull apart into little pieces, and add barbecue sauce. Then I flash freeze 1/2 cup potions of this and the put them, 2 in each package, into foodsaver bags and them put THEM into large freezer bags. That way I can take out enough for two sandwiches for us, and they are also handy to have if I need to make a quick meal for a family in need. I LOVE this way of saving money, time, and having nice things ready to eat!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-34169902274034426482010-08-30T06:32:35.829-07:002010-08-30T06:32:35.829-07:00MMMM, looks delicious!!! :DMMMM, looks delicious!!! :DMissEmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647153220387399532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-65623657693696533562010-08-29T11:15:49.326-07:002010-08-29T11:15:49.326-07:00So cool...you are the "sandwich whisperer&quo...So cool...you are the "sandwich whisperer"...you make amazing tasty things out of thin air :) :) :) I think this is great.
