Sautéed Ham Slices in Cherry Sauce

Sautéed Ham Slices
in Cherry Sauce
Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup Lucky Leaf "Lite" Cherry Pie Filling
(It MUST be the newer Splenda-sweetened version)
* 1/4 cup sugar free DaVinci Cherry Syrup
* 2 Tablespoons dry sherry
* Dash of ground cloves
* 6 pkts Splenda or equivalent in liquid sweetener
* 2 thick slices (3/4 - 1 pound each) lean ham
* 1 Tablespoon butter
* Watercress or parsley for garnish

In a heavy saucepan, heat the cherry pie filling with the sherry and cloves. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute. Add DaVinci Syrup and Splenda and return to boil. Boil 1 additional minute and remove from heat. Allow the sauce to sit off the heat long enough to get a bit thicker. Meanwhile, slash the edges of the ham slices to keep them from curling up. In a heavy skillet, brown the slices in butter for 5-8 minutes per side. Remove to a warm serving platter and spoon some of the sauce over the ham. Garnish platter with watercress or parsley for a pretty color contrast (the red and green look especially beautiful on a Christmas table!)
