  • 8-10 oz ham (sliced, diced, or shredded)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 tbsp hot diced green chiles
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup ham glaze spice mix (see below)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
Instructions
  1. Combine the 8 spices and sugar for ham glaze and stir to blend well. Measure out ¼ cup and set aside; transfer the rest to a jar or container to store.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet and saute the ham on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the green chiles, vinegar, and ham glaze spice mix.
  3. Stir and saute 2-3 more minutes to blend flavors. If desired, add more glaze and chiles to adjust heat and sweetness to taste. Add 1-2 tbsp water as needed as the ham can dry out if you don't watch it.
  4. Serve as a main dish, in sandwiches, on pizza, however.
  5. Enjoy!
