1/2 cup water
1 tsp pineapple extract
1/2 Tsp liquid splenda (or 1/2 cup granular)

Melt butter, stir in flour. Add cream and water, and mustard, stirring until thickened. Add ham. Serve over crepes.

This is really not a lot of trouble, especially if you make the crepes ahead. I freeze them between layers of wax paper in a ziplock bag and just defrost before using
