Ham Polynesian

When I went to decide what meals I would be making for the upcoming week I realized that I was (and still am) totally craving comfort food. I blame it on being emotionally sick over the past few weeks.
Well, alas I chose to make comfort foods I grew up with. So the first one I made was Ham Polynesian.

First I gathered together all the ingredients (as you can tell from the picture I am not an extremely brand loyal person).


Then after cooking (remember this is only my second post so forgive me for the small number of pictures) - I imagine I will get better as time goes on.

So Voila!! The finished product plated and ready to eat:


The recipe is as follows and honestly I have absolutely no clue who to attribute the recipe to besides my beautiful mom.

Ham Polynesian
2 cups diced ham (any variety works - I just had sandwich ham on hand)
1 or 2 bell peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Saute the above ingredients in at least enough margarine to coat the pan. (use the largest fry pan you have - if not you will have to cut the recipe down)
1 15 ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 can of water (use empty pineapple can) with 3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in it
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (you can actually use any type, but I prefer apple cider for this recipe)
Add the above ingredients and bring to a simmer.
Simmer covered, stirring occasionally until thickened (15-20 minutes)
When done enjoy over rice.
