That wasn’t very nice of me
Three weeks ago I made a post about being back, done with holiday traveling and ready to work on the blog.
That didn’t go as well as I’d planned.
I got busy with a lot of work, and somehow the Pantry ended up on the bottom of my to-do list. I didn’t miss any column deadlines (click here to see the recent ones) and I continued to take lots of food photos, I just got bad at posting things. Very bad.
I still want to work on redesigning some things on this site, but I’ll need a few more weeks for that. In the meantime, here is one of my favorite (and quick!) main dishes to make after a long day of work.
This recipe makes 2 servings. To double this recipe, purchase a larger ham steak and a 15- to 16-ounce can of fruit cocktail. When thickening the sauce, double the cornstarch and water as well.
1 6- to 8-ounce boneless ham steak
1 8.25-ounce can light fruit cocktail (in light syrup or natural juices)
1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold waterHeat a skillet over medium heat. Add ham steak; cook according to package instructions, about 3 minutes per side for thin steaks and 8 minutes per side for thick steaks.
Meanwhile, drain the fruit cocktail, putting all of the juice into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Bring juice to a boil; stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add fruit and simmer until heated through. Serve over ham steak. Makes 2 servings.
