Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place one ham slice onto each piece of foil, and sprinkle brown sugar on both sides. Spread a little bit of the crushed pineapple over the ham, then top with sweet potatoes. Sprinkle a little bit more brown sugar and pineapple over the sweet potatoes. Close the aluminum foil tightly around the ham, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and carefully open the packets. Sprinkle miniature marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven with the foil open. Bake for another 10 minutes. If you want the marshmallows really toasty, you could brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. You will end up with a sweet, juicy ham dish and very few dishes to wash.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter each.
- Stir together the Parmesan, thyme leaves, 1/3 cup of the heavy cream, half of the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a medium bowl. Add the Yukon gold potatoes, toss to coat and spread evenly in one of the prepared baking dishes.
- Stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the yams, toss to coat and spread evenly in the other prepared baking dish.
- Cover both baking dishes with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the potatoes and yams are tender when pierced with a fork, an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Stir together the cream cheese, Gruyere, nutmeg, remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream, remaining garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks pepper in a medium bowl. Add the spinach and stir to combine and coat.
- Position the ham flat-side down on a cutting board with the fat cup facing up. Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch-wide slices across the length of the ham about three-quarters of the way down through the ham.
- To assemble: Fill the space between the first 2 slices of ham with some of the creamed spinach, pressing to even out the filling. Skip 3 slices (so there are 2 spaces in between) and fill the next space with more of the creamed spinach. Continue in the same manner, dividing the creamed spinach evenly among every third space. Fill each space next to the creamed spinach with a layer of the scalloped potatoes, dividing the scalloped potatoes evenly among every third space. Fill each space next to the scalloped potatoes with a layer of the candied yams, until all the spaces are filled.
- Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, add 2 cups of water to the bottom and tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil. Bake until the ham is heated through and the potatoes are slightly golden, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and heat through, whisking to combine. Season with a few cracks of pepper.
- Remove the foil and brush about half the glaze over the top of the ham. Return to the oven until the glaze is thick, glossy and deep golden, about 10 minutes more. Carefully transfer to a platter and pour the remaining glaze over top.
GRILLED HAM STEAKS WITH SAUTEED SWEET POTATOES, CORN AND CARAMELIZED APPLES
Steps:
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the ham slices to coat all of the pieces. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Drain the pineapple chunks from the juice in the can. Add the ham and the pineapple chunks to the hot pan, and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown. Reserve the liquid in the pan for the Sauteed Sweet Potatoes and Corn.
- Serve over lettuce with the Sauteed Sweet Potatoes, Corn, and Caramelized Apples.
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Peel and cut the sweet potato into small chunks. Add the sweet potato to the boiling water, and boil until tender. Drain the sweet potato into a colander. In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Return the sweet potato to the pot, and add the rosemary. Saute until the sweet potato has developed nicely browned crusts on the cut sides, and then remove it to a large serving bowl.
- In another medium-sized pot, place 2 ears of corn in just enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until kernels are soft and tender. Meanwhile, slice the green and red peppers into 1/4-inch strips. Add the peppers to the pan with the liquid from the sauteed ham, and cook over medium-high heat. Slice the corn off the cob, and add it to the pan with the peppers. Continue sauteing until vegetables are crisp yet tender. Add the corn and pepper mixture to the bowl with the sweet potato, and toss gently until combined.
- In a large pot, add the apples and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until apples are tender. Drain in a colander. To the same pot, add the butter and brown sugar, and return the apples. Over low heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the apples absorb the sugar and the butter has melted.
TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH HAM
Hearty enough for an entree or a full-bodied side dish. My own creation trying to blend sweet and savory. Hope you enjoy and let me know all your adaptations for the under-used sweet potato! Lots of variations are possible with this. The chipotle and salty ham were a great kick with the sweetness of the potato and pineapple. No other sugars were needed. Hope you like it!

STUFFED HAM, SOUTHERN MARYLAND STYLE
There are as many recipes for southern Maryland stuffed ham as there are families in St. Mary's County. It shows up on Christmas and Easter tables, and at almost every community fund-raising supper. This recipe, compiled from cooks whose families have been making it for generations, uses raw stuffing and is spiced with plenty of black and red pepper. Because the ham boils for so long, the spiciness will mellow. The most challenging part is the finding the ham itself. Corned hams - which are simply fresh hams that have been cured in salt or brine - aren't usually in the grocery meat case, and butchers will often require advance orders. Corning your own fresh ham is not hard, but it can take several days and turns this into even more of a project.

Steps:
- If corning the ham: Cut slits about 3 inches deep in a few places around the bone. Push salt into the incisions and, with a light hand, rub salt all over the surface of the ham. Reserve any remaining salt to rub into the ham as it corns, adding more if needed later in the process. Place the ham in a nonreactive pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and place it in refrigerator for a week. Unwrap and turn it every couple of days, sprinkling with more reserved salt and pouring off any juice that collects each time. Rewrap. The day before you are going to stuff the ham, rinse off the salt and soak the ham overnight in cold water in the refrigerator.
- Make the stuffing: The goal is to chop all the vegetables so the pieces are small and relatively uniform in size. Begin by chopping the cabbage. A food processor with a shredding blade is helpful. Place the cabbage in a large pan or bowl. Remove large stems from the kale and other greens, if you are using them, and chop. (Tip: Freeze cleaned, whole kale leaves overnight in plastic bags, then break up the frozen leaves while still in the bag and add to the stuffing mixture.) Chop the yellow onions and scallions, and add them to the cabbage and kale.
- Mix the vegetables well and add the spices. Mix again. (Your hands will work best for this, but wear gloves if your skin is sensitive to pepper.) Taste the stuffing and adjust, adding more cayenne or red-pepper flakes for a more intense spiciness. Keep in mind that the long boiling time will soften the heat.
- Stuff the ham: Remove the bone, or have the butcher remove it for you. The ham should be almost butterflied. Add the bone to a pot large enough to hold the ham, fill with enough water to cover it and begin to heat the water to a boil.
- While the water heats, set the ham on a sheet pan and cut slits about 3 inches long and 2 inches deep in a few places to make pockets, being careful not to slice through the meat completely. The number of slits will depend on the size of the ham. The goal is an even distribution of stuffing. Pack the slits tightly with stuffing, and add stuffing to the center of the ham where the bone was. Close the ham and secure it with kitchen string.
- Prepare a large square of cheesecloth at least 3 layers thick. Spoon a layer of stuffing over the cheesecloth and set the ham on it. Pack more stuffing on the top and sides of the ham. Gather the corners of the cheesecloth to the top and twist tightly to form a compact package. Tie the top tightly with string.
- Lower the ham into boiling water, reduce heat to a simmer and add any juice that has collected from the stuffing. Skim any foam that rises. Cook, covered, for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Turn off the heat and let the ham cool slightly in the water, about an hour. (Old-timers simply put the whole pot on the porch overnight if the weather was cool, or left it on the stove until completely cooled.) Drain the ham in a colander and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove the cheesecloth and string, and reserve any stuffing around the ham.
- To serve, slice the ham across the grain, so each slice contains stuffing and meat. Pile additional stuffing around the slices. The ham can be reheated, but more often it is served cold.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Ham Steak: Select a thick-cut ham steak, about 1 inch thick, for a juicy and flavorful result.
- Preparing the Sweet Potatoes: For crispy and caramelized sweet potatoes, cut them into even-sized wedges or slices. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- Stuffing the Ham Steak: Use a variety of fillings to create a flavorful and satisfying dish. Popular options include spinach, cheese, mushrooms, and bread crumbs. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
- Cooking the Ham Steak: Pan-frying the ham steak gives it a crispy exterior and tender interior. Make sure to cook it over medium heat to prevent burning.
- Roasting the Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature, around 425°F, to achieve a caramelized exterior and tender interior.
Conclusion:
Stuffed ham steak with sweet potatoes is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its combination of savory ham, sweet potatoes, and flavorful stuffing, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
