When does the christmas ham go bad?

[nickle730]

It does go bad but should last several weeks, maybe a month. You'll know it's bad because it'll smell. Are you keeping it in a moist pillow case (or Ham Bag) soaked on a mixture of water and a bit of vinegar? If you change the bag every couple of days (just re-soak it in the vinegar mix) your ham will keep longer and won't dry out on the edges.

it's just wrapped up in a tea towel in the fridge. It doesn't seem to be going dry, just the skin of it is a bit crusty with what looks like salt. I dunno..I did tell DF we didn't need anything too big
