Recipe - Ham Rolls With Grapes And Tomato Cream Sauce

2 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Shallots, chopped fine
1 cup Cubed ripe tomatoes
6 tablespoon Dry white wine
1 cup Heavy cream
1 pound Thinly cut or sliced up ham
1 One half cup 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 1in. 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.
