Freezing Tips to Keep Holiday Foods Fresh Longer
University of Illinois Extension food specialists offer freezing guidelines for holiday fare. Wrap fancy breads, fruit cake stores indefinitely when frozen, candies keep a year or more, cheese freezes six months with possible texture changes, and smoked meats should be frozen in moisture vapor proof wrap to slow rancidity. Canned hams should stay refrigerated and not be frozen due to texture changes and container risk.
