  3. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and frozen for future parties or picnics. the meat slices well while still slightly frozen. Slice 1/4" thick and arrange in overlapping rows on a platter around a bowl of chutney or hot mustard as an hors d’oeurvre. 60 thin slices as an hors d’oeurvre.

  4. TIP: To serve as a hot entree, slice a little thicker and serve with rice, stir-fried water chestnuts and snow peas.

  5. Serves 8-10 as an entree.
