PINEAPPLE-GLAZED HAM

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.

HONEY-GLAZED PINEAPPLE

• Cut pineapple crosswise into 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick slices. Using a small biscuit cutter, core each slice and discard. Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
• In small bowl, combine honey and lime juice. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of pineapple with mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 and up to 8 hours.

PINEAPPLE GLAZE FOR BAKED HAM

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.
