Servings: persons

2 cups diced cooked ham
2 tablespoons butter (Divided in thirds)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks (don't drain) or (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (don't drain)
1 medium onion, peeled cut in half and quartered
1 medium bell pepper, cored seeded, and cut in 1/2 inch strips (your favorite color)
For the Sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (or 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp. molasses)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1
Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
2
When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
3
Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
4
Remove and set the ham aside.
5
Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and saute the onions.
6
When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
7
When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
8
Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
9
Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
10
Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
11
Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!
