I’ll make this the last Ham recipe for a while, but man this one is a real favorite with me because of the cherries.

HAM STEAKS WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Serves 6

1 (4 serving) package JELLO sugar-free vanilla cook & serve pudding

1 (4 serving) package JELLO cherry gelatin

2 cups (16 oz can) red tart cherries, packed in water, drained and liquid reserved

Water

¼ tsp apple pie spice

6 extra lean ham slices

 

In an 8-cup glass measuring bowl, combine dry pudding mix and dry gelatin.  Add enough water to reserved cherry liquid to make ¾ cup.  Add liquid to pudding mixture.  Mix well to combine.   Cover and microwave on HIGH 2 minutes.  Stir in cherries and apple pie spice. Re-cover and continue microwaving on HIGH 2 minutes.  Mix well.  Cover to keep sauce warm while preparing ham.  Place 6 ham steaks in large microwavable dish.  Cover with waxed paper.  Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes, or until ham is heated through, turning after 1 ½ minutes.  For each serving, place a ham slice on a plate and spoon about 1/3 cup warm cherry mixture over top.
