Ham Help if you Please

[OldUsedParts]

I probably bought my Smithfield Hardwood Cooked Ham too early but I got it and now I need to know what to do until time to cook it.

SHOULD I FREEZE IT UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO HEATING AND GLAZING OR WILL IT KEEP IN THE FRIG FOR 9 DAYS
When I tried to peel back the label to where the Cooking Instructions were, the label came all to pieces so I'll have to wait until I can unwrap the ham to read them.

It will keepfor weeks while wrapped and in the fridge, if it was me I'd freeze and get it out 2 days before, like you said. I do exact same New Year's Eve, Easter and cup,week.
Glaze
300mls equal amounts, maple syrup, bourbon, apricot sauce, mix with small jar honey grain mustard. 50 to 100mls. It really is a nice glaze. Good luck.

I bought mine last weekend and I think the Best By date was feb 1 so I tossed it in the refrigerator

Zooming in I think yours ends in 21 as well.

I would freeze it then thaw at the appropriate time.

Thanks Y'all NOW one more Question Pleas:

The Directions say to heat this 10# ham at 325 for 15 -20 min per pound which seems too much.
SOOOOOOO when do I start brushing the Glaze on it???????

The 325° is a good temp to heat at. 15 min. per lb. is more doable but I always rely on internal temp not time. I glaze my spiral cuts at 135° looking for an internal finished temp of 140°.

I twice smoke a spiral cut ham every Christmas but no glaze as I like to use the bone and left over ham in a 15 bean soup. I cook turkey and sausage gumbo for Christmas Eve.

We somehow ended up with two hams so I know what we're having for Christmas. And Easter.
