Hawaiian Ham Skillet

The Original Recipe:
This comes from Taste of Home website. I had leftover ham from Easter that was frozen, so I searched the internet for something different to make. I wanted something that was more spring-like and not a heavy wintery soup. This worked out perfect. It made enough to feed our family of 6, too! I sliced it up and served it over brown rice. It was so good. I got 2 thumbs up from my husband and kids tonight.
