there are probably many ways to deal w this sort of ham , for long term storage.

 

I note you seem to have access to a vacuum sealing system.

 

Id use that , if you have a decent system where the bags will last.

 

why ?  the ham won't dry out any more.

 

you probably don't need to Fz the ham , but if you Vac and have the room , why not ?

 

if you don't have freezer space , vac and keep in the refrigerator.   

 

although cured ham keeps at room temp , it will oxidize if not sealed.

 

ie get a rancid like taste.

 

Id cut the ham into hunks that would make a dinner for ' how many you have '  

 

w leftovers for sandwiches , mac and ham and cheese etc.

 

these smaller 'hams'  will be easier to cook , and rehydrate if you go in that direction

 

and I encourage you to do so.   you can also eventually  keep a hunk or two for thin sliced cured but not cooked.

 

good luck !   hope you enjoy the precess.

 

a country ham , broken down is a joy to have around.

 

its strong taste can then be enjoyed over time , and safely.
