Hubby and I did this for T-giving, since it was just the two of us. We've made it once since then. It is mouth-watering. I've been trying out a bunch of new recipes lately.

HAM STEAK WITH BROWN SUGAR AND LIME GLAZE

1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 7- to 8-ounce ham steak (about1/2 inch thick)

1 tablespoon butter

Whisk sugar and lime juice in small bowl to form paste; rub over both sides of ham steak. Place ham on plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours (paste may liquefy).

Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add ham to skillet with sugar paste still clinging and saut? until brown and heated through, about 3 minutes per side.

Makes 2 servings.

Here is a recipe that two people have asked me for:

Sourdough Starter (creation and care)

1 pkg active dry yeast
2.5 cups warm water (110-115F)
2 c all-purpose flour
1 T sugar

Mix all together until smooth then put in a warm place to set for about a week to ten days. Stir three times a day. The warmer the room the sooner the starter will be fermented. A clear liquid (called the hooch) will form on top of the starter. Don't drink the hooch, but rather stir it back into the starter once a day every day after you ged the starter going, and before using the starter. If you are not going to use the starter for some time, put it in the fridge and it will keep there. After removing it from the fridge, you may want to add a little flour and water (twice as much water as flour) to ged it working again.

Sourdough Bread:
Measure 1 cup of room temp starter
Dissolve 1 pkg active dry yeast in 1.5 c warm water
Stir 2.5 c all-purpose flour, 2 T NaCl, 2 T sugar, and the starter together
Combine 2.5 c flour and 1/2 t baking soda; stir into sourdough mixture
Stir in as much of 1/2 to 1 c of flour as you can with a spoon
On a lightly floured surface knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff, smooth, elastic dough
Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turn once, cover and set in a warm place to rise (I usually set it near my woodstove) until double (about 1 to 1.5 hours)
Punch down, divide in half, cover, and let rest 10 minutes
Shape each half into a round or oblong and place on a greased cookie sheet
Make slashes (or whatever pattern you want) across the tops
Cover and let rise until nearly double (about 1 hour)
Bake in a 400F oven 35-40 minutes (oven time will vary)
The bread is done when you turn it upside down and hear a dull thud when you thump the bottom (sorta like when NPG or PV or I see a pic of NEP, but not as loud or sharp! :wink: )

Replenish your starter after using it with a 2:1 ratio of warm water and flour added to the leftover starter. Be sure to stir regularly!
Onward and Upward!

Thanks for the recipe, t! :D But I have to say, this is by far my favorite part! Can't wait to hear what I sound like when I "thud." :wink:
