PINEAPPLE MAPLE GLAZED HAM RECIPE BY TASTY



Pineapple Maple Glazed Ham Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: gammon joint, onions, pineapple juice, dijon mustard, pineapple juice, maple syrup, cloves

Provided by Chloe Olivia Morgan

Categories     Dinner

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.
  • Enjoy!

PINEAPPLE-GLAZED HAM



Pineapple-Glazed Ham image

We spiked the glaze for our retro-chic ham with hot sauce and apple cider vinegar to cut through the cloying sweetness of the original.

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Bon Appétit     Christmas     Christmas Eve     Easter     Dinner     Ham     Pork     Roast     Pineapple     Orange     Holiday 2018

Yield 8-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pineapple, peeled, sliced into rings
1 large orange, sliced into thick rounds
1 (10-lb.) cured smoked bone-in ham or 6-lb. cured boneless ham
3 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup hot sauce
Maraschino cherries (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Stack 2-3 sheets of foil ample enough to cover ham on a work surface and arrange pineapple and orange slices on top in a single layer. Set ham on fruit (if using a bone-in ham and it has a fat cap, score very lightly, making cuts about 3/4" apart) and wrap up tightly. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham registers 115°F, 3-3 1/2 hours for boneless, 3 1/2-4 hours for bone-in.
  • Meanwhile, bring pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, and hot sauce to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer, swirling occasionally, until thick enough to coat a spoon. Keep warm.
  • Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 425°F. Unwrap ham, peeling back the foil so it covers the baking sheet (this will make for easy cleanup). Once oven is at 425°F, baste ham with warm glaze and return to oven. Bake, brushing with more glaze every 3 minutes or so, until glaze is deeply browned and thermometer registers 125°F, 12-15 minutes. Carefully transfer ham to a cutting board and let rest 30-60 minutes before slicing.
  • While ham is resting, roast fruit, spooning juices over from time to time, until deeply browned, 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve ham with roasted fruit and cherries alongside.

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!

Provided by alec.reichert

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup brown sugar
1 (10 ounce) can crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dry mustard or 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a small saucepan including the juice/syrup from the pineapple.
  • Turn heat on to medium and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Continue to heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  • Allow mixture to boil for approximately 1 minute.
  • If mixture refuses to thicken, add more cornstarch- a little at a time.
  • (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.

GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE



Glazed Ham With Pineapple image

You can use a 14-pound bone-in ham also, and you can use more pineapple rings and maraschino cherries if desired to cover ham. A bone-in ham has just about the same amount of meat on it as a 7-8 boneless pound ham, as the bone accounts for about 4 pounds of the weight. This recipe can be made with both a bone-in or boneless ham. Stay close to the oven as this ham must be basted every 20 minutes. The cooking time is estimated depending on the size of ham, and also depends if you are cooking a bone-in or boneless ham, always check the weight on the package wrap and adjust the cooking time to that weight. The pineapple basting sauce can be made a day ahead and reheated before adding it into the roasting pan.

Categories     Ham

Time 2h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (7 -8 lb) boneless ham
4 cups pineapple juice
fresh ginger (cut into about a 1-inch piece and sliced)
5 garlic cloves, coarsley chopped
15 -20 whole cloves (use as many as you need)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard (Dijon mustard only for this!)
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
10 pineapple rings
10 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine the pineapple juice, ginger slices and garlic; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes (reducing the liquid to about 2 cups).
  • Strain and reserve all liquid through a fine strainer.
  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Trim the thick rind with fat, but leave about 1/4-inch fat from the surface of the ham.
  • With a very sharp knife, "score" a diamond pattern all over the ham, then insert the whole cloves at the crossed points of the diamonds.
  • Set the ham in a shallow baking pan.
  • Brush the mustard all over the top.
  • Pat the sugar into the top of the mustard, pushing it in with a spoon or your hands.
  • Starting at the butt end, and working towards the bone, decoratively arrange the pineapple rings securing with whole cherrries and toothpicks in the centers.
  • Pour the reserved pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven.
  • Bake for about 1-1/2 hours, basting about every 15-20 minutes (the cooking time might take longer depending on the weight of the ham).
  • When ham is cooked, place it on a fancy serving platter and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Carve into thin slices, preferably with an electric knife, beginning with the butt end.
  • Serve warm with the sauce from the pan in a serving cup.
  • Remove the pineapple slices and cherries as you slice the ham.
  • Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pineapple juice for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar and add a tablespoon of molasses.
  • For a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce for a few minutes longer.
  • Be careful not to overcook the ham, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Glaze the ham every 15-20 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Pineapple glaze is a delicious and easy way to add flavor and moisture to your baked ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that will make your ham the star of the show. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, pineapple glaze is sure to be a hit.
