Thank you so much, Carlo. This will do nicely. I did a search on Epicurious and came up with a red currant sauce recipe, which I saved for future reference.

Question: Can I freeze a ham? I had thought that it was just going to be my husband and me for Christmas dinner, since he's on call that week, and we can't really go anywhere. His sister, who lives 90 miles away, called to invite us to her house with the rest of his family, and we can't go. So, it was decided to have Christmas at our house! I had already purchased a mini Bellmill sirloin tip ham for us to have, now I'll have to go out and buy a much larger ham. And, I'll have to clean the house now. :)

Can I freeze a ham?

Yes indeed you can, but it really depends on what type of ham it is, and the packaging it's in. I am assuming this is a precooked ham. If not, that changes things, cook it first. If it is vacuum sealed you can refrigerate for almost 3 weeks in the fridge. Not so if you have opened it, then I would buy a small second one and serve 2 different recipes. Freezing is a second option.
