Source of Recipe
From "Maple Syrup Cookbook" by Ken Haedrich
Recipe Introduction
"Here's a simple, tasty way to prepare ham steaks. Try this with biscuits and Braised Onions with Bacon."
List of Ingredients
◦ 1 pound ham steak
◦ 1 cup apple cider
◦ � cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
◦ � cup dark rum
◦ 2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed
◦ � cup raisins
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350� F. Put the ham steak in a shallow casserole dish slightly larger than the steak.
Bring the cider, � cup of the maple syrup, the rum, orange juice, and raisins to a near boil in a small saucepan. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the raisins with a slotted spoon, put them in a small bowl, and spoon enough of the hot liquid over them to cover completely. Pour the remaining liquid over the ham and bake for 1 hour.
When the hour is up, remove the ham from the oven and preheat the broiler. Combine the raisins and their soaking liquid in a food processor or blender with several tablespoons of the casserole juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Process briefly � a little roughness is good � and pour it directly over the ham. Place the ham under the broiler for just a few moments, until it sizzles and browns; keep a close eye on it.
