Ham and Pineapple Spears
1 lb. baked ham (such as Black Forest), thinly sliced
1 pineapple, peeled and cut into 20 long spears
2 T. olive oil
2 T. balsamic vinegar
3 inner celery stalks, cut into 3-inch pieces (optional)
Fold each slice of ham in half and wrap it around the center of a pineapple spear. Heat 1 T. of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 10 of the wrapped pineapple spears in the pan. Sear on each side until golden, about 2 minutes. Drizzle 1 T. of the vinegar over the pineapple spears and cook until the vinegar bubbles up and thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil while repeating the cooking instructions with the remaining ingredients. Serve with the celery stalks, if desired.
