Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the reserved peach juice, brown sugar, and mustard in a 10-inch skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid is slightly reduced.
- Add the ham slices; cook for 2 minutes per side or until heated through.
- Reduce heat; add peaches and green onions.
- Cover and cook about 3 minutes until the peaches are hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter glaze, consider adding a splash of honey or maple syrup. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard works as a substitute, though it will alter the flavor slightly. You can also use fresh peaches when in season; just peel and slice them. For a smoky flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika to the glaze.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peachy Glazed Ham Steaks alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Aunt Gertrude'S Salad Dressing for a refreshing side. For a complete dinner, add some fluffy rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious glaze.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover ham steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the ham in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of peach juice or water to keep it moist. Cover and heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used for this recipe. Just peel and slice them, adding them to the skillet in the last few minutes of cooking to ensure they soften without losing their shape.
What type of ham steaks should I buy?
Look for fully cooked, boneless ham steaks for ease and convenience. You can choose from various flavors, but a mildly flavored ham allows the peach glaze to shine through.
Can this recipe be made in advance?
While the ham steaks are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the glaze in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it before adding the ham and peaches for a quick meal.
