Balsamic-Glazed Ham with Parsley-Cornichon Gremolata

Since ham has a very rich flavor and a lot of salt, an accompanying sauce that offers bracing acidity—in the form of balsamic vinegar and cornichons—makes a great counterpoint. The easiest way to mince parsley is to process it in a mini food processor. The leaves should be rinsed and spun thoroughly dry, or they will clump together and resist chopping.
