Ham with Tart Berry Sauce Recipe

  • 1 8-ounce (scant 1/2 inch thick) ham steak, cut into 2 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1/4 cup lingonberries in sugar (preserves) or whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  1. Sprinkle ham generously with pepper. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham and sauté until brown at edges, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer ham to plates; tent with foil to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet. Add shallots and mustard and stir until shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Mix in lingonberries, water and red wine vinegar. Stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute; season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over ham and serve.
