Ham steaks are available from your butcher or in the supermarket. Prepare the glaze up to 2 days ahead.
Serves 6

1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon or cinnamon stick
6 thick ham slices
1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
2. Place the port, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil the glaze for 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.
3. Place the ham slices, slightly overlapping, in a baking dish and pour over the glaze.
4. Bake for 5 minutes, then baste the slices with the glaze and continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the glaze is bubbling. Serve with Root Vegetable Home Fries (recipe follows).
