Why don't you want to freeze it?
I... I don't know...
Now that I reflect on it, I think I might have a weird psychological aversion to freezing unfrozen food. I have no problem eating frozen food, but freezing the unfrozen...
Come to think of it, I can't remember ever having frozen any unfrozen food before in my entire life...
I got a cheap vacuum sealer and some bags years ago. It's great to store things like the ham. Something on sale? Get lots and freeze it.
