Sweet and Spicy Ham Steak
  1. 1

    Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium heat. Cook the ham in the skillet until browned and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Drain any extra grease. Add the salsa, apricot nectar, apricot preserves, brown sugar, and taco seasoning to the skillet.

  2. 2

    Lower the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer until the sauce is hot and bubbling, turning the ham steak once, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Move the ham steak to a platter and spoon the sauce over it.
