Instructions: 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 1-in. 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.
