As we approach autumn, I look forward to the fresh apple cider that is abundant at that time. And I look for many ways to incorporate it in my cooking. Sweet and salty, the ham is great served with roasted potatoes and applesauce for a fine fall meal. Ingredients:
2 bay leaves |
2 (1 lb) ham steaks, patted dry (about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick each) |
2 1/2 cups fresh apple cider |
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
pepper, to taste |
1/2 cup madeira wine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bay leaves in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Place ham steaks side-by-side in dish, overlapping slightly, if necessary. Pur 1-1/2 cups cider over ham (more than likely, the cider will not cover the ham.).
2. Whisk 2 T. maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl to blend; spread over top of ham steaks. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake ham steaks for 40 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1 T. maple syrup, and the Madeira in a medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
4. Spoon sauce over ham and serve.
