Ham With Pineapple Food

HAM AND PINEAPPLE DINNER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the ham, onions and pineapple chunks in the butter for about 5 minutes.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard and cornstarch. Stir this together well and pour over the ham mixture in the skillet. Stir well and allow to heat through and thicken, about 5 minutes.

BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place ham in roasting pan. Score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes; insert cloves into diamonds. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Combine brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice; pour over ham. Arrange pineapple slices and cherries on ham. Bake, uncovered, 30-45 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140° and the ham is heated through.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Bake at 325°F for 1 1/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F and ham is heated through.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, and pineapple.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; stir into pineapple sauce.
• Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

SIMPLE HAM AND PINEAPPLE DINNER

Steps:

• Put juice from pineapple in a small saucepan, reserving pineapple rings.
• Add orange juice concentrate, mustard and cornstarch to saucepan.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly and thick, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Cut ham into 8 slices.
• Arrange in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Top each slice of ham with a pineapple ring.
• Pour sauce evenly on top.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F, until ham is fully heated and sauce is bubbly.

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.

PIZZA WITH PINEAPPLE AND HAM

Steps:

• Position 1 oven rack in the center and the second rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle the cornmeal over 2 rimless baking sheets. Roll out each piece of Pizza Dough into a 10- to 11-inch round. Transfer 1 dough to each prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the Marinara Sauce over the dough, dividing equaling and leaving a 1-inch border around each pizza. Sprinkle the cheeses over the sauce. Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer over the cheeses. Sprinkle with the ham. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, about 12 minutes. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
• Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and divide into 2 equal balls.
• In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste.

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-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.

BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place ham in roasting pan.
• Score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes.
• Insert cloves into diamonds (use as many as you'd like). I like to use quite a few.
• Cover and bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 hours. Longer if using an uncooked ham. Go according to package directions.
• Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice, pour over ham.
• Arrange pineapple and cherries on ham and secure with toothpicks.
• Bake, uncovered an additional 30-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F.

• Cook on Low 7 to 10 hours.

BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk pineapple juice, brown sugar, and dry mustard in a bowl until brown sugar has dissolved.
• Place ham in a baking dish with cut side down and arrange pineapple rings and maraschino cherries onto the ham; secure with toothpicks if needed. Push cloves into ham and baste ham and fruit with pineapple juice glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven until glaze has baked onto ham, 1 1/2 to 2 hours; baste with glaze every 30 minutes.
• Turn on oven's broiler.
• Broil ham until the glaze forms a crust and the pineapple slices are browned, about 5 minutes.

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!

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.
