Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan, heat the cherry pie filling with the sherry and cloves. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute. Add DaVinci Syrup and Splenda and return to boil. Boil 1 additional minute and remove from heat. Allow the sauce to sit off the heat long enough to get a bit thicker.

Meanwhile, slash the edges of the ham slices to keep them from curling up. In a heavy skillet, brown the slices in butter for 5 to 8 minutes per side.

Remove to a warm serving platter and spoon some of the sauce over the ham. Garnish platter with watercress or parsley for a pretty color contrast (the red and green look especially beautiful on a Christmas table!)
