SWEET AND SMOKY HAM STEAKS

Sweet and Smoky Ham Steaks image

My husband and I enjoy grilling our meals during the summer months and never tire of experimenting with new recipes. This past summer, he suggested pairing my homemade barbecue sauce with grilled ham steaks-and the results were mouthwatering! The sauce can be made several days ahead of time, if necessary; refrigerate until ready to use. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, WI
