Can this be frozen
over 1 year agoI commonly freeze my sliced store bought headcheese. Just be aware that when it thaws it will release a significant amount of water. I deal with this by laying the slices on paper towel while they thaw. Of course the slice will be a bit drier, but condiments will fix this.
