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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ¾ lb gammon joint
2 onions, quartered
3 qt pineapple juice
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup maple syrup
25 cloves

Steps:

  • Place the gammon joint in a large pot and add the onions and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 70 minutes. (Gammon joints need to cook for 40 minutes per kilo (2 ¼ lbs), so if you are using a smaller or large gammon joint, adjust the cooking time accordingly.)
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the gammon joint from the pan and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the glaze: in a small pan over a medium heat, combine the Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced and glossy.
  • Carefully remove the skin from the gammon joint, using a small paring knife to help ease the fat away from the skin. Be sure to leave a small layer of fat on top of the gammon.
  • Score the fat in a diamond pattern and push a clove into each cross section.
  • Liberally brush the gammon joint with the glaze, making sure to reserve at least half of the glaze.
  • Roast the gammon joint for 40 minutes, glazing again halfway through.
  • Carve and serve.

PINEAPPLE-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS



Pineapple-Glazed Shrimp Skewers image

From chow.com; posted for ZWT 5. "With a flavor that's somewhere between Asian and Caribbean, these skewers are hard to label but easy to make and tasty enough that they'll be a hit with the whole family. **NOTE: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes beforehand, so they don't burn on the grill. **Note: There's just a touch of heat in the glaze from cayenne pepper. If you're up for it, you can get the party started by adding a little extra." -- This could also be made with chicken, or for something special, use sugarcane skewers.

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Rub the ribs all over with the sesame oil; season generously with five-spice powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan and roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • To prepare the pineapple glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and add the pineapple chunks; saute for 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, rum, hoisin sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, chile, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a slow simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Pull out the ginger pieces. Pour the glaze into a blender and puree until smooth.
  • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with some of the glaze. When they are done, the pork will pull away from the bone and you will see about 1/2-inch of bone showing. When you are ready to eat, baste the ribs with more glaze and stick them under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes to give the ribs a nice crust. (Watch them carefully as they can easily burn.) Separate the ribs with a cleaver or sharp knife, pile them onto a platter, and pour on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: Select pineapples that are heavy for their size and have a golden yellow color. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots.
  • Use fresh or canned pineapple: Fresh pineapple is ideal for this recipe, but canned pineapple can also be used. If using canned pineapple, choose pineapple packed in its own juice, not syrup.
  • Make sure the pineapple is well-drained: If using fresh pineapple, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the glaze. This will help to prevent the glaze from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. For a sweeter glaze, add more brown sugar or honey. For a spicier glaze, add more ginger or cayenne pepper.
  • Cook the glaze until it thickens: The glaze should be cooked until it thickens and becomes syrupy. This will help it to adhere to the pineapple.
  • Brush the glaze on the pineapple before baking: This will help the glaze to caramelize and create a beautiful golden brown color.

Conclusion:

Glazed pineapple is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish, an appetizer, or even a dessert. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the pineapple perfectly, and the dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
