boiled ham

Hot water cured

Boiled ham is ham that has been cooked by simmering in water or brine rather than baked or smoked.

It's typically mild, moist, and pink, sold sliced for sandwiches or served as a main dish.

In American delis, boiled ham often means the basic, inexpensive option: I'll take a pound of boiled ham.
