Curried Fruit with Ham Steak

1 (15 1/2-ounce) can tropical fruit salad or chunky mixed fruit

1 (1 1/2 pounds) fully-cooked center-cut ham slice, cut 3/4-inch thick

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder or 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg or ginger

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 cup pineapple juice or orange juice
