Ingredients

• 1 pound ham steak
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup apple cider
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 2

Add the ham steak to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until it is heated through and slightly caramelized. Remove the ham steak from the skillet and set it aside, covering it to keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Stir in the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to bubble.

Step 5

Add the raisins to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to plump up and the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 8

Return the cooked ham steak to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and let it warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the ham steak with the cider raisin sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
