Spiced Tangerine Ham Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

5 10 15

Ingredients

8 medium tangerines
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 slices fully cooked ham, (1 pound)

Directions

Squeeze juice from six tangerines; strain pulp. Cut a thin slice off the bottom and top of the remaining tangerines. Place each tangerine cut side down on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from fruit. Holding fruit over a bowl, slice between the membrane of each section and the fruit until the knife reaches the center; remove sections; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and tangerine juice until smooth; stir in the honey, ginger and cloves.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown ham slices on both sides; remove and keep warm. Stir tangerine juice mixture and add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the tangerine segments; heat through. Serve with the ham. Yield: 4 servings.
