Mustard-Maple Ham Steaks With Cider-Madeira Sauce

• 2 bay leaves
• 2 (1 lb) ham steaks, patted dry (about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick each)
• 2 1/2 cups fresh apple cider
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup madeira wine

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bay leaves in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Place ham steaks side-by-side in dish, overlapping slightly, if necessary. Pur 1-1/2 cups cider over ham (more than likely, the cider will not cover the ham.).
2. Whisk 2 T. maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl to blend; spread over top of ham steaks. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake ham steaks for 40 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1 T. maple syrup, and the Madeira in a medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
4. Spoon sauce over ham and serve.
