Orange-Maple Ham Slice

Orange-Maple Ham Slice

** VERY GOOD **

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon Sugar-Free Pancake Syrup

1 1/2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice

3 Drops Orange Extract

1/2 Teaspoon Brown Mustard

1 Tablespoon Butter

1 Pound Ham Slice (I couldn't find a single slice...so I got smaller slices and just made 3)

(NOTE:  I doubled everything but the ham slices as I didn't feel that there was enough sauce left for the last slice.)

Directions:

Mix together the sugar-free pancake syrup, lemon juice, orange extract and brown mustard.  

Melt the butter in your big, heavy skillet and cook the ham slice in it, browning on both sides - it should take no more than 5 minutes per side.

Now remove the ham to a platter and pour the sauce into the skillet.  Stir it around, scraping up the browned bits - add a tablespoon or so of water is you think you need it.

Put the ham slice back in the pan, turning it to coat both sides, and give it another minute or so, then serve.

Yield: 3 to 4 servings
