Maple-Glazed Ham Steak

Serves 4.

Note: If you do not have real maple syrup, substitute honey, microwaving it for about 30 seconds so it becomes fluid enough to pour and stir easily. (Imitation maple syrup is sometimes labeled "pancake" syrup. Do not use this.)

• 1 thick center-cut ham slice (about 1 lb.)

• 2 tbsp. real maple syrup (see Note)

• 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Place the ham in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook on the first side until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown on the second side, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to medium, if necessary.

While the ham cooks, stir the maple syrup and vinegar together in a small measuring cup or dish. Set aside.

When the ham has browned on both sides, pour the syrup mixture over the ham in the skillet. Turn the ham slice over several times to coat it with the syrup. Cook, turning often, until the syrup thickens just slightly, about 30 to 45 seconds. Remove the ham from the skillet to a serving plate, and spoon any remaining glaze on top. Cut the ham into 4 portions, and serve.
