Brown Sugar Glazed Ham With Pineapple Food

PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED BONELESS HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham on a cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, score the top and sides in a diagonal crosshatch pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Push the cloves into the ham if using, placing them at the intersections of the cuts. Put the ham, scored side-up, on a rack set in a roasting pan.
• Drain the pineapple rings, 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 into the bottom of the pan and tent the ham loosely with foil. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, 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 ham and carefully brush a third of the glaze all over. 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 before slicing.

PINEAPPLE HONEY-GLAZED HAM

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.

BROWN SUGAR PINEAPPLE HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/2-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Cover and bake 1-1/2 hours., In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Spread over ham, pressing mixture into cuts. Bake ham, uncovered, 30-60 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°.

BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Place the ham facedown in a roasting pan.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and mustard and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
• Cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes, set aside.
• Brush the baked ham with the glaze, then top with the pineapple rings, securing them with toothpicks.
• Return the ham to the oven and bake uncovered until heated through, 25-30 minutes.

BROWN SUGAR AND PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the ham, cut side down, into a roasting pan.
• Cut the skin off the pineapple with a sharp knife and cut out any brown spots of skin left behind. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch slices and cut the cores out of the slices. Pin the slices onto the ham with toothpicks.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• While the ham is baking, mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe ceramic or glass bowl and microwave on medium power until the glaze is boiling and slightly thickened. Work carefully because the glaze will be sticky and very hot.
• Pour about half the glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple about 1 hour before the end of baking; pour the rest over the ham about 30 minutes before the end of baking.

BROWN SUGAR PINEAPPLE GLAZED CANNED HAM

Steps:

• 1. Open and remove ham from package and rinse. Put in large zipper sealed gallon plastic bag.
• 2. In large bowl combine syrup from pineapples (reserve pineapple slices for baking) and brown sugar. Mix should be very thick. Add mix to bag with ham and marinate in fridge overnight.
• 3. To Bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place ham and mix into a large baking pan with deep sides to avoid spillage in oven. Place pineapple slices on ham so they overlap each other and pile on top what's left.
• 4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Take off foil and bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove pineapples and serve separately. Very tasty. Slice ham for serving.
