Grilled Ham with Fruit Sauce

This ham has a citrus sauce that uses lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Mom, not being a grapefruit lover, didn't care for the grapefruit flavor so next time we'll try it with two oranges instead. And I forgot to take a picture of the sauce that goes over the ham so you'll have to use your imagination...



Grilled Ham with Fruit Sauce

Peach Glaze
1 can (12oz) peaches, drained
2 Tbsp mustard
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

2 center-cut ham steaks (about 1 pound each)

Citrus-Ginger Sauce
1 lemon
1 orange
1 grapefruit
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 C chicken broth

Glaze:
Place all glaze ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Cover each side of ham steaks with glaze and place in a resealable bag or tupperware (with any additional glaze) and refrigerate 4 hours.

Sauce:
Zest lemon entirely. Cut lemon, orange, and grapefruit in half. Scoop the meat out of the fruit and place in a small bowl with lemon zest. Squeeze any juice left in fruit peels over the fruit in the bowl.

Mix together the olive oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add the fruit mixture and cook for 1 minute more. Keep warm until ham is ready.

Meanwhile, grill ham over medium-hot for 10 minutes, turning once. Serve immediately with sauce.

Serves 4-6.
