2 cups crushed pineapple, canned
½ cup brown sugar
2 Tbs. prepared mustard
1 tsp. ground cloves
8 ½-Ib. ham steaks, cut ½-inch thick
2 ripe avocados
baked sweet potatoes
In a 1 quart bowl combine pineapple, sugar, mustard and cloves. Lay out on a baking sheet 8 ham steaks, side by side. Spread pineapple mixture uniformly over the ham steaks. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until the pineapple has glazed the ham. (If mixture has not glazed enough, sprinkle with brown sugar and return to heat for 5 more minutes.) Peel and stone avocados. Cut in uniform ½-inch slices. Lift each ham steak onto dinner plates with a spatula. Arrange 4 or 5 slices of avocado on each ham steak. Serve with baked sweet potatoes in their jackets.
Serves 8.
