For the stuffing, you can experiment with different types of bread or flavored croutons. I especially like making my own stuffing so I can control the sodium level - and especially in this case since ham is salty anyway. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chopped celery |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 cups toasted bread cubes or 2 cups croutons |
2 tablespoons minced onions |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons water |
1 cup diced apple |
2 lbs ham steaks, of approximate equal size |
8 -10 whole cloves |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In medium saucepan over medium heat, saute celery in butter; remove from heat and add next 7 ingredients; mix well and set aside.
3. In a cup, wisk together the orange juice and melted butter; set aside.
4. Slash the fat around ham to prevent it from curling, and place one of the steaks in a greased baking dish.
5. Spread with apple stuffing.
6. Top with remaining ham steak.
7. Stud the fat around the edge with whole cloves, spacing them 1 or 1-1/2 apart.
8. Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until done, basting 3 or 4 times with the orange juice/butter mixture.
