BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE



Baked Ham With Pineapple image

I got this from the Taste of Home website. The original recipe calls for a fully cooked ham but I always use an uncooked ham and cook it myself, you just have to cook it longer but a cooked ham would do just as well. This is the best ham I've ever had...honestly!

Steps:

  • Cover and bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 hours. Longer if using an uncooked ham. Go according to package directions.
  • Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice, pour over ham.

Pineapple Honey-Glazed Ham image

Ham dressed in pineapple rings and maraschino cherries is a holiday classic, burnished with a glossy glaze made with pineapple juice, honey and brown sugar. If you like sweet and salty, you'll love this show-stopping centerpiece!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 9- to 10-pound bone-in fully-cooked smoked ham (butt or shank half)
1 tablespoon whole cloves, optional
Two 20-ounce cans sliced pineapple
20 maraschino cherries
2 cups honey
2 cups light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Let the ham sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Push the cloves into the ham, if using, placing them at the intersections of the cuts. Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Drain the pineapples, reserving the juice. Arrange the sliced pineapple all over the ham, securing with toothpicks. Add a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple slice and secure with a toothpick.
  • Pour 1/4 inch water in the bottom of the pan and tent the ham with foil.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham (avoiding bone) registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (or about 15 minutes per pound).
  • Meanwhile, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, syrupy and reduced to about 3 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Uncover the pan and carefully brush a third of the glaze all over the ham. If the water in the roasting pan has evaporated, add more. Bake the ham for 15 minutes more. Brush with another third of the glaze and bake for 15 minutes more. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook until the glaze is shiny and the skin is dark golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes.

PINEAPPLE GLAZE FOR BAKED HAM



Pineapple Glaze for Baked Ham image

Posted at the request of my sister. Glazing a ham while cooking is wonderful but the first person to the platter usually makes off the the glazed ends and the rest of the people get a "glazed rim". The solution in our house is to make lots of glaze and pour it over each slice!

1 tablespoon dry mustard or 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • (Be sure to mix your cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup to make a smooth liquidified mixture before adding it to the hot sauce.) Pour finished sauce into a serving bowl, complete with a ladle, and let your guests pour it over baked sliced ham.

Important Baking Ham with pineapple: Helpful tips and tricks

  • Choosing the right ham: Opt for a fully-cooked ham, either a whole or a half ham, to save cooking time. Look for a spiral-cut ham for even cooking and easier serving.
  • Preparing the pineapple glaze: Use fresh pineapple for the best results. Blend pineapple chunks, brown sugar, butter, pineapple preserves, and spices like cinnamon and ground cloves to make a delectable glaze.
  • Scoring the ham: Use a sharp, serrated kitchen to make 1/4 inch deep incuts on the ham's surface. This allows the glaze to penetrate, resulting in an explosive, browned crust.
  • Baking the ham: Place the ham on a roasting pan or a large cake pan with the cut side facing up. Add water or white grape to the bottom of the roasting dish to prevent the natural sugars from caramelizing too quickly.
  • Baste the ham frequently: Use a pastry or a kitchen baster to baste the ham every 15-20 minutes. This helps caramelizes the sugar in the glaze and keeps the ham moist.
  • Resting the ham: Before serving, let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes covered in foil. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more even and better-textured meat.

Conclusion

Baking a ham with pineapple and brown sugar makes a succulent and appealing dish, perfect for special celebratory gatherings such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even a spectacular weekend meal. Proper selection of the ham, thoughtful preparation of the pineapple glaze, and following the correct steps of the recipe are essential. By following this recipe and including the tips and tricks shared above, you can make a delectable dish that will impress your family and guests. Serve the ham with accompanying sauces, such as pineapple, apple, or cranberry, and do not forget the mashed sweet or roasted root veggies, to create an unforgettable culinary experience.
