Leftover ham never had it so good. Toss it into a pot with cabbage, simmer it into a soothing broth, and crown it with sour cream. Simple, satisfying, and just rustic enough to feel fancy.
You can grab ham from the deli as well, if you want to get fancy with some flavor of Boar’s Head ham. If going the deli route, I suggest adding for your slices as a supper cut.
