What is summer ham?

Summer ham is a type of cured ham that is typically made from the hind leg of a pig. It is usually brined or smoked and then cooked, resulting in a flavorful and tender meat. Unlike traditional holiday hams, summer ham is often enjoyed cold, making it a popular choice for Sandwiches, salads, and picnic dishes during warmer months. Its mild flavor and versatility make it a favorite for casual dining.
