Serve with a green vegetable and your favorite sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes can be baked--or quick cooked in the microwave oven for an easy but festive dinner.
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup red currant jelly
1 tablespoon Gravy Master
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 lb. center-cut ham steak, fully cooked
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine orange rind, orange juice, currant jelly, Gravy Master and allspice. Cook on HIGH 2 or 3 minutes, until it starts to boil.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into hot mixture. Cook on HIGH 1 minute, stirring once. Stir in raisins. Set aside.
- Cut slashes around edge of ham steak so it won't curl up while cooking. Place in a shallow baking dish and cover loosely with waxed paper. Cook on HIGH about 5 minutes, until heated through.
