Steps:
- 1. Grate the zest of the 2 limes (& the 1 orange if you desire). Set aside.
- 2. Squeeze the juice from the 2 limes (and about 1/2 of the orange if you are using one) into a sauce pan.
- 3. Add the 8 slices of ginger into the sauce pan. (Make sure the slices are thin)
- 4. Pour 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice into the saucepan as well.
- 5. Boil 8 to 10 minutes.
- 6. Strain.
- 7. Add Lime(and Orange)Zest.
- 8. Add 1 cup Apricot Preserves.
- 9. Add 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard.
- 10. Feel free to use this glaze however you like. We poured half over the ham after it had been cooking about 2 hours (almost a 9lb ham) and basted it every 10 minutes for the next 50 minutes. It takes some work but it is totally worth it! It was so juicy and almost falling off the bone when it was done! Enjoy! :)
Tips:
- To ensure a juicy ham, choose one with a bone in the center. This helps to distribute the heat evenly during cooking, resulting in a tender and flavorful ham.
- Baste the ham regularly with the pineapple juice mixture throughout the cooking process. This helps to keep the ham moist and adds extra flavor.
- If you don't have a pineapple ring, you can use crushed pineapple instead. Just be sure to drain it well before using.
- Feel free to add other fruits to the pineapple-apricot sauce, such as peaches, cherries, or oranges.
- Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
This apricot pineapple ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors makes this ham a real crowd-pleaser. Whether you're serving it for a holiday meal or a casual get-together, this ham is sure to be a hit.
