Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Toothpicks
  • Foil or Parchment Paper
  • Paper Towels
  • Fork or Small Tongs

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb. Ham Steak Bone-In or Boneless
  • 3-4 Pineapple Rings
  • 3-4 Maraschino Cherries
  • 2-3 tbsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 tps. Whole Cloves or ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves (light sprinkle)

Instructions

  • Rinse and pat dry ham steak with paper towels.
  • Place ham on foil or parchment-lined tray or basket.
  • Add whole cloves all over the steak or sprinkle ground cloves.
  • Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar.

  • With a fork or small tongs remove the toothpicks. Optional step remove the whole cloves.
