Spicy Ham Steak

By 1For_Him

I'm not a big ham fan but I just LOVE this dish. Easy to do, very forgiving - you can substitute different kinds of juice or soda. Ham steaks freeze well and thaw fast so it's good for a week night. Fairly economical if you get the ham on sale. I love to have it with orange rice where I substitute about a half a cup of OJ for water with plain old white or even brown rice, and a nice green salad. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 slice ham steak
• 1/2 cup orange juice (apricot or pineapple work well, too, so does Tang!)
• 1/2 cup ginger ale (or Sprite, 7-Up or a cola drink)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I usually use light)
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

Step 1

1 Prick ham slice with a fork all over to make holes and slash the edges so it won't curl during baking.

2 Place in baking dish just big enough to hold slice.

3 Mix all other ingredients together well and pour over ham.

4 Marinate at least 30 minutes but can be longer (some times I do it in a baggie overnight).

5 Put in 350* oven, bake for about 30 minutes. Mmmm!
