HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
We call this "Ham and Peppers" but there's onion and pineapple too. This is a great quick meal and an excellent use for leftover ham. The recipe was originally from a Doubleday Cookbook but has evolved during the past 12 years to suit our taste--we like the ham and onions slightly browned and the peppers crisp/tender. Serve over steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste. Note that this dish is best just after it's thickened and it doesn't reheat that well, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Steps:
- Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
- When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
- Remove and set the ham aside.
- Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
- When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
- When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
- Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
- Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
- Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
- Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!

HAM AND FRUIT STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the ham and onion in the skillet for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 the amount of juice from the can of pineapple and allow it to be absorbed by the ham, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the pineapple chunks, apple and brown sugar. Pour in any remaining pineapple juice only if mixture is getting too thick. Stir all ingredients together well and allow to heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stir-fry taste its best. Look for crisp vegetables, tender meat, and a flavorful sauce.
- Cut your ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate your meat: Marinating your meat before cooking will help it tenderize and absorb flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent your food from sticking.
- Cook your stir-fry over high heat: This will help the vegetables stay crisp and the meat cook quickly.
- Stir-fry your ingredients in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or your food will steam instead of fry.
- Add your sauce at the end: This will help prevent it from burning.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fries are best when served hot and fresh.

Ham stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a healthy and affordable option for busy weeknight meals.
