-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Butter
1 tb Shallots, chopped fine
1 c Cubed ripe tomatoes
6 tb Dry white wine
1 c Heavy cream
1 lb Thinly sliced ham
1 1/2 c Small white seedless grapes
1. Preheat the oven to 400. 2. Melt 1 tbsp of butter
in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, then
add the tomatoes. Cook about 10 min., stirring
occasionally. Add 4 tbsp of the wine and cook about 3
min. Stir in the cream. Simmer about 15 min. 3. Butter
a oval baking dish( a dish measuring about 9 x 12 x 2
in. is ideal). Roll up the ham slices into cigarette
shapes not quite 1-in. in diameter. Arrange the rolls
close together in the dish, side by side in a neat
row. Melt the remaining butter and brush over the ham
rolls. Set aside. 4. Put the sauce through a fine
strainer. Return to the saucepan and cook about 5 min.
longer. 5. Meanwhile, place the grapes in a small
skillet with the remaining wine. Bring to a boil and
cook, shaking the skillet, about 3 min. Do not over
cook or the grapes will become mushy. They must retain
a nice texture and shape. Add the sauce and bring to a
boil, stirring. 6. Place the ham in the oven and bake
about 5 min., just to heat through. 7. Pour the grapes
and the sauce over the ham.
