Ham Caribbean

The sweet, fruity sauce really compliments the ham.  This is an easy freezer meal that is good with Hawaiian Cole Slaw.  Here’s what you’ll need to make the ham:

• 1½ lbs. fully cooked ham slices
• 8 oz pineapple chunks or tidbits
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbs. cornstarch
• ⅛ tsp. cloves or nutmeg
• ⅓ cup orange juice

Put the ham steaks in a foil pan or casserole dish.  Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice.  Add enough water to make ⅓ cup.  In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cloves.  Stir in the pineapple juice and orange juice.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Stir in the pineapple.  Pour over the ham.  Cool and seal tightly with foil.  Label with the instructions, “Thaw in fridge. Bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes or until hot.”
