1. Cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove the cores and then slice fairly thin. Melt the butter in an ovenproof casserole dish and add the ham cut into little sticks about 1 inch long.
2. Let it simmer gently in the butter without browning for 5 minutes; then stir in the cabbage and turn it over in the butter until it is all coated and glistening.
