Hawaiian Style Pineapple Guava Glazed Ham Food

HAWAIIAN HAM STEAKS

Steps:

• Pour 1/2 inch juice into skillet and stir in brown sugar. Make slashes in fat around steak to keep it from curling.
• Place ham in skillet with juice mixture and top with pineapple slices.
• Cook on medium low heat and turn twice.
• Cook until sauce becomes thick and serve with pineapple slice on each serving.

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.

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.

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.

HAWAIIAN STYLE PINEAPPLE-GUAVA GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Place the ham and the drippings in a deep dish roasting pan.
• Score the top of the ham, diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep and an inch apart. In each diagonal point (like a grid), push a whole clove in each point of the ham. Poke whole cloves around the sides of the ham.
• Spread the yellow mustard onto the top of the ham and the cloves.
• Pack the brown sugar on the top of the ham, making a slight mound.
• Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar, over lapping them for a nice arrangement. Pour the pineapple juice into the roasting pan. Toothpick a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring to hold it there during the baking process.
• Bake the ham at 275 degrees for 2 hours, tenting the ham with foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
• GLAZE:
• Combine all the ingredients and cook over medium-low heat till well incorporated.
• Set aside a cup of the cooked glaze mixture for the sauce.
• Pour the remaining glaze over the ham during the last 1/2 an hour of baking.
• SAUCE:
• Combine the juices in the roasting pan with the ham glaze, cherry pie filling and raisins (opt.), in a saucepan and warm it over low heat. Remove from heat.
• Slice the ham, use the pineapple rings and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the hot sauce over the ham slices or serve it on the side.

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.

PINEAPPLE GLAZE FOR BAKED HAM
