Sides

The Yule Ham sandwich is a satisfying little bite for the little ones and big ones! You can serve this as a starter, side and to use remaining ham for a fancy Christmas morning breakfast the next day too! Some of my best memories of Christmas are the ham and turkey sandwiches of the next day!
