Chef's tips
Ask the deli counter to shave the ham paper-thin for the best tender texture. Always warm the ham in the sauce so it absorbs maximum flavor.
Storage
Refrigerate leftover ham in sauce for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Warm gently in a skillet or microwave, then pile onto a fresh roll.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using thick-sliced deli ham instead of paper-thin shaved ham
- •Cooking the sauce until it is too thick to coat the ham lightly
