For quick weeknight dinners, dice it into pasta dishes, quiches, or breakfast casseroles for added protein and flavor.
When serving cold, pair this Virginia ham with sharp cheeses, crusty bread, and pickled vegetables for an impressive charcuterie board. For warm applications, the ham pairs beautifully with sweet elements like pineapple, cherries, or apricot preserves.
