GLAZED SKILLET HAM STEAKS

Steps:

• 1. Brown the ham slices in your skillet (electric or stove top)
• 2. Mix the juice from the peaches with the mint syrup and pour over meat
• 3. If you don't have time to make the mint syrup, or have not found any at the store -- you can also just had 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of mint flavoring to the peach syrup from the can. Stir together, taste to make sure you have enough mint, then pour over meat.
• 4. Top with the peaches and cherries, sprinkle with cinnamon
• 5. Cover and simmer on low heat till fruit is done
• 6. TO MAKE MINT SYRUP: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil and add the sugar. Add fresh mint leaves (or mint flavoring -- your choice). Simmer until thickened. (About 10 minutes.)
• 7. Strain out the leaves if desired. Transfer syrup to a small metal bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. Can be used warm in this dish, but any extra can be cooled and stored in a covered container for up to one month.
• 8. This mint flavored simple syrup can be used to sweeten tea, flavor milk, lemonade, or seltzer, and is an especially delightful treat over vanilla ice cream. I like to add a little green food coloring if I'm using it for ice cream.
• 9. You can also use this simple syrup recipe to make ginger, basil, cinnamon, vanilla or any flavored syrup.
