Ham Steak with Apples

I'm a fan of the 30 minute, simple supper. This recipe fills the bill.

Recipe

	2/3 cup cranberry, apple-cranberry, or cranberry-grape juice
	1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar, or molasses)
	2 tablespoons lemon juice
	1 1/2 tablespoons mustard (such as Dijon)
	1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
	1 small onion, chopped
	1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped fine
	1 ham steak, cut into serving sizes
	2 tablespoons butter (or combination of butter and olive oil)
	1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins, if available

In a large skillet, brown ham in butter. Set aside on a platter.

While the ham is cooking, beat together with whisk -- juice, honey, lemon juice, mustard, and corn starch until well mixed. Chop onions and apples.

After ham is removed from skillet, lightly sauté onions and apples. Add juice mixture and raisins/cranberries, and bring to a light boil while gravy thickens and raisins/cranberries plump.

Return ham to skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes until heated through. Return ham to platter for serving, spooning gravy over top.

Serve with microwaved Idaho potatoes (8-10 minutes) and steamed or lightly sautéd green vegetable.

Preparation time: about 20 minutes.

Serves 3-4 people, depending on appetite.
