Step 1
Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Add the ham in batches, cooking each portion for about 15 seconds until it’s just lightly browned. Transfer the ham to a big bowl as you go.
Step 2
In the same skillet, turn the heat down to medium-low and add a little oil. Toss in the onion and green pepper, and cook them gently for about 7 minutes until they’re soft and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the ham glaze, undrained pineapple, brown sugar, and vinegar. Let everything heat through and bubble together for a minute or two.
Step 4
Pour this sweet and tangy mixture over the ham in the bowl, then give it a good toss to coat everything evenly. Serve the saucy ham on rolls and enjoy!

Serving Advice
Serve with a simple green salad or coleslaw to add freshness. Pickles or crispy potato chips on the side make a nice contrast in texture. A cold glass of iced tea or lemonade complements the sweet and sour flavors well.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the bread from getting too soft. If the sauce thickens after cooling, stir in a little water before reheating.
