Pineapple Ham Steak

What you need:

Center Cut Ham Steak
1 Can Pineapple Chucks
1 1/2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
1 TBSP brown sugar
Pepper

How you do it:


In a large pan over medium heat simmer pineapple juice from the can, vinegar and brown sugar until well combined
Add ham steak to pan and cover with pineapple chucks
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes

Why it's so good:

I love ham. It's sweet and tender. This recipe is fast and easy. The ham usually comes pre-cooked so it takes no time to thoroughly heat it though. The balsamic and pepper add an interesting twist to the traditional Honey Glaze taste. Serve it up with smashed or baked potatoes with some butter and garlic. If you pop the potatoes in the microwave before you start the ham it should all be done about the same time.

Enjoy and Mangia Tutto!

This also makes a great appetizer - cut ham steak into squares about the same size as the pineapple chuck or just a tad bigger - spear ham and pinepple with toothpicks and serve! I used these as one of my appetizers at a wedding cocktail hour.
