Christmas Ham W Pineapple Orange Glaze Food

PINEAPPLE-ORANGE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/8-inch deep. Place cloves in the middle of each diamond (optional). Place the ham in a large roasting pan equipt with a roasting rack, cover, and tent with foil, and then bake for 20-minutes per pound or according to the package directions.
• Heat the brown sugar, vinegar, and juice in a small saucepan until bubbly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes.After about 2 hours of baking time, remove the foil and brush the glaze on the ham in 20 minutes intervals (put the ham back in the oven, uncovered, in between) until it's nice and glossy. Remove from the oven and allow to rest 15-20 minutes before carving.
• After about half the calculated baking time has passed [See Note], remove the foil from the ham and set aside for later. Brush the glaze on the ham in 10 to 20 minutes intervals, returning the ham to the oven, uncovered, between each interval. Continue to glaze until the ham is fully heated.
• Durning the last 5-minutes of bake time, set the oven to broil and caramelize the glaze. Be sure to continually check the ham during this 5-minutes as the glaze can easily burn during broiling.
• Remove from the oven, tent loosely with the foil you set aside earlier, and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
• Serve warm with leftover glaze sauce poured over the meat as desired (optional).

ORANGE-AND-PINEAPPLE HASSELBACK HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature, 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the butter, 1/4 cup mustard and the thyme in a mini food processor. Process until smooth.
• Make 8 to 10 deep cuts in the ham, about 1/2 inch apart, diagonal to the longest side of the ham (regardless of where the bone is). Rub the butter mixture over the ham and all the way into the spaces between each cut. Insert the orange and pineapple slices into the spaces, allowing the tops to stick out.
• Transfer the ham to a rack set in a large roasting pan. Pour 2 cups water into the bottom of the pan and tightly cover with foil. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the ham registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven.
• Transfer 1/2 cup of the pan juices to a large skillet and add the pepper jelly and the remaining 1/4 cup mustard. Simmer over medium-high heat until thickened and slightly syrupy, about 3 minutes. Pour the glaze over the ham and brush to coat the entire surface.
• Return the ham to the oven and continue to bake until the surface is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
• Place ham in a roasting pan. Score the rind of the ham with a diamond pattern. Press a clove into the center of each diamond. Drain the juice from the pineapple rings into a medium bowl, and stir in the brown sugar and lemon-lime soda. Coat the ham with this mixture. Arrange the pineapple rings over the outside of the ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring, and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake uncovered for 4 to 5 hours, basting frequently with the juices, until the internal temperature of the ham is 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Be sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Remove toothpicks before serving.

PINEAPPLE GLAZE FOR HAM

Steps:

• Before baking ham, place pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks and place cherries in center of pineapple.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl combine brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice. Mix together and microwave for about 5 minutes, until mixture is thick. Pour some of this glaze over the ham about every 15 minutes in the last hour of baking, until all is used.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE-ORANGE DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Place ham in a roasting pan, bake at 325°F for two hours.
• Meanwhile, stir remaining ingredients together in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• When ham has baked two hours, brush the ham with the glaze, continue doing so every 10 minutes while baking for another 30 minutes.

ORANGE PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and set out a large roasting pan.
• To a small bowl, add the brown sugar, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, orange zest, and stir to combine.
• Rub this all over the ham.
• Tightly wrap the ham in heavy duty nonstick foil and place it in the roasting pan. Bake for 30 minutes covered. While the ham bakes, make the glaze.
• Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan on the stove. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a low and allow the mixture to simmer on low for about 15 minutes, or until glaze has reduced in volume and thickened some; set aside off the heat.
• After the ham has been baking 30 minutes, remove it from the oven, carefully peel back the foil, evenly sprinkle the 1/4 cup crushed pineapple and juice associated, reseal the foil, return it to the oven, and bake it covered for 10 minutes. When done, the internal temp should be at 140F. Tips - Don't overbake so your ham doesn't dry out. Also remember that the internal temp will continue to rise even out of the oven, so I feel safe pulling mine out at about 135F.
• After this second baking of 10 minutes, remove it from the oven and turn the broiler to 500F.
• Peel back the foil, and carefully drizzle the orange pineapple glaze all over the ham.
• Place it uncovered under the broiler for just 3 to 4 minutes. Tip - Don't leave the kitchen and keep a very watchful eye on it so it doesn't burn! You want the glaze to caramelize but it can burn easily, in just one minute, and will taste terrible so be extremely careful and vigilant!
• Allow ham to rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Extra ham will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.

GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

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!

ORANGE GLAZE FOR HAM

Steps:

• Drain the juice from the can of mandarin oranges into a microwave-safe bowl. Eat the oranges, or reserve for other uses. Stir in the brown sugar and orange juice. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on full power, then stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Glaze will be runny.
• Use to glaze a whole ham every 10 minutes during the last hour of cooking. Also baste a few times after you take the ham out of the oven.
