It's hard to beat a glazed, baked ham - it's also difficult for two people to eat a whole ham, however fond they are of leftovers. This recipe offers most of the satisfaction of a glazed ham without having to spend a month eating it. The flavor profile is a tasty balance of salty, sweet, hot, sour and savory and so it touches almost every taste bud in your mouth. Best of all, it's easy enough to make on a weeknight and yet fancy enough for a special occasion. (Larger image.) Serves 2.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. fully cooked ham steak
  • 1 orange (optional); peeled and segmented, seeds removed
  • *** Glaze ***
  • 4 tsp. orange marmalade
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 tsp. ground mace
  • 2 tsp. unsalted butter; melted

Preparation:

1. Turn on broiler and place a rack in second position from top.

2. Melt butter with marmalade in a small pan over low heat. Whisk in remaining glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil and place ham steak on it. Brush with glaze.

4. Broil for 6 - 8 minutes until brown, bubbling and hot.
