Pineapple Orange Glazed Ham Food

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.

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.

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).

SLOW-COOKER PINEAPPLE-ORANGE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Place ham in 3 1/2 to 5-quart slow cooker. Drain pineapple liquid from can into slow cooker; refrigerate pineapple. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of the marmalade and mustard; mix well. Spread over ham.
• Cover; cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours.
• About 5 minutes before serving, remove ham from slow cooker; place on cutting board. Cut off enough ham to make 2 cups cubed; cover and refrigerate for Ham and Broccoli Soup p.29. Cover remaining ham to keep warm.
• In small microwave-safe bowl, combine pineapple and remaining 2 tablespoons orange marmalade; mix well. Microwave on High for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring once halfway through cooking. Cut ham into slices. Serve ham with pineapple mixture.

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.

HAM SLICE WITH PINEAPPLE-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown ham in butter. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set juice aside. Place pineapple over ham; set aside. , In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, orange juice, vinegar and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Pour over ham and pineapple. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until ham is heated through.

ORANGE-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Combine mustard and allspice; rub over ham., Bake, uncovered, at 325° until a thermometer reads 140°, 2 to 2-1/4 hours. Spread top of ham with marmalade during the last hour of baking, basting occasionally.

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.

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.
