About

In America, glazed hams are very popular. From the special Smithfield hams from Virginia to more everyday gammon, oven glazes are used to enhance the taste and presentation. They turn gammon into a festive dish. Served hot it goes well with scalloped potatoes and puréed spinach or broccoli, or you can serve cold slices with a variety of salads or home-made pickles.
