Baked Ham and Sweet Gravy image

I have been making sweet gravy for so long and I can't remember how I got started. It is one of those recipes that just has always been there. Kids absolutely love it, well so do the grown ups. My husband who doesn't really have a sweet tooth thinks it is the best gravy I make. His first question when I say I am going to bake...

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole, shank or butt smithfield low sodium ham
1 can(s) water packed pineapple rings
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 jar(s) maraschino cherries
GRAVY
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/4-1/2 c water
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
few dash(es) kitchen bouquet or gravy master for color

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325-degrees. Trim ham and score. Place in an open roasting pan with 1 cup water.
  • 2. Bake 12 minutes per pound. Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving juice. Mix pineapple juice and brown sugar to make the glaze for the ham.
  • 3. The last hour of baking remove ham from oven and arrange pineapple rings and cherries. Secure with toothpicks. Pour half the glaze over ham and return to oven.
  • 4. Baste several more times with the glaze, using it all up.
  • 5. Remove ham from oven and transfer to either a cutting board or serving platter. While ham is resting skim as much grease as possible from ham drippings in pan.
  • 6. Mix water and flour together along with salt and pepper in a jar or Tupperware shaker. Slowly add to the remaining drippings in the pan. Stirring to make sure all flour is dissolved. Bring to a boil to thicken. If gravy is too thick, add water to thin to desired consistency. If too runny make up a bit more flout and water. Add a couple dashes Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master to get desired color.
  • 7. Serve with mashed potatoes and wait for the oohs and ahhs.

This ham was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.
