Every time I go through the meat section of the supermarket I pass by these 3/4 inch- to 1-inch ham steaks packaged and ready to go. I always wonder what people do with them. This week, while sifting through the case trying to find something to grill that won’t break the bank, I notice the section of ham. I grab a package (about 1-1/2 pounds) and see that it is less the five dollars. I can grill this, I think to myself. I grab it and wander off to the produce isle for a fresh, ripe pineapple. A quick and easy dinner on the grill that costs a few dollars? Jackpot!

Ham and pineapple is a classic combination you'll find in everything from stir-fries to pizza. For this recipe, once the ham and pineapple are prepped (mere minutes) all I need to do is mix up a quick glaze and start grilling.

Instructions
- Heat the grill. Take ham out of package and place on a platter.
