Bergy the whiskey sauce on this is heavenly!! I made it just as you said, I intended adding raisins,but discovered I was out of them. Had some dried apricots, so I chopped them to raisin size and added them, turned out wonderfull!! I don't have a skillet large enough to cook the ham steaks all at once, so I veggy sprayed my broiler and roasted the steaks for about 15 minutes @ 400 degrees.(left the butter off, figured there is enough butter in the sauce.)Put them on the platter and poured the sauce over, The best ham steaks we've ever had!! Can't wait for the leftovers tomorrow night. Thank-you Bergy!! — posted Apr 1, 2002,UPDATE: can't figure how I'm the only one to enjoy this recipe, it is fantastic!! Had a half black forrest ham in the freezer, cut into steaks, we enjoyed this soo much!! I used dried cranberries in the sauce, it was delicious!! thanks again Bergy, great recipe. — Dec 5, 2004, 3 members found this helpful Here I am again! we love the sauce so much in this recipe, I tried something different with them for guests comming for appies, I made toast cups, chopped the ham, made the sauce with cream instead of water, added dried cranberries, put the ham in the bottom of the toast cups and poured the sauce in to fill the cups, brought them to a bubble in the oven and served them warm, Ohhhh boy!!! what a wonderful taste, they went over big, we all enjoyed them very much, the flavour is out of this world, thanks again Bergy!! they make a great appy!!!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
