Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Glazed and Grilled Ham Steaks

This was so easy...it's almost embarrassing. When I find something that feeds two or three people, I am all over it. As you can imagine, there's a lot of food cooked here and if I can do without leftovers a couple of nights a week, that means my fridge can breathe a little bit. I had two small ham steaks in my freezer and some apricot preserves in my fridge that were calling to be used with the ham. Below is the result....and IT Guy proclaimed it delicious!


Grilled & Glazed Ham Steaks



2 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 teaspoons prepared mustard (I used Dijon)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
dash ground cinnamon
1 (1 pound) 1 inch thick ham steak

Combine preserves, mustard, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set glaze aside. Score one side of each ham steak. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 - 7  minutes on each side, brushing with glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.

Serves 2 - 3

Here's what you'll need. I used apricot preserves but peach would be great, too!

Flip it over and do the other side. I made sure the glaze was good and caramelized on each side. I think I turned each piece at least 4 times. Pretty and yummy and also pretty yummy.
