Butter Rum Ham And Pineapple Recipes

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.

BUTTER RUM HAM AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Cut four 1/2-inch thick slices from ham (reserve any remaining ham for another use). Place butter, brown sugar and rum extract in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30–45 seconds or until butter melts.
• Brush one side of ham with glaze and place on grill with glazed side down. Brush glaze on top of ham slices. Close grill lid, pressing down firmly to sear ham. Grill 4–5 minutes, brushing once with remaining glaze, until internal temperature reaches 140°F Remove ham from grill and cover to keep warm.
• Cut pineapple into four 1/2- to 1-inch thick slices and place on grill; close lid. Grill 1–2 minutes until warm. Serve with ham.

BAKED RUM PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE:.
• Combine the molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and rum to form a paste. Chill. Remove from refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before using.
• 2 hours before your party:.
• Cut the pineapples, including the leafy tops, into quarters. Cut out the core and cut pineapple off of the skin and into bite size pieces. Return it to the shell.
• Place the pineapples onto foil lined baking sheets and cover the leafy tops with foil. Brush the pineapple pieces with the rum mixture. Cover with plastic until ready to bake.
• To bake:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the pineapple until glazed and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Arrange on a platter with toothpicks, and serve warm. Bake one pineapple at a time, because this is always eaten up quickly, and you will want to have more to serve later in the party.

ROASTED-PINEAPPLE HOT BUTTERED RUM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with nonstick baking mats. Mix 1 cup sugar, the vanilla seeds, and 5 tablespoons butter. Slice 1/2 inch from both ends of pineapple, and discard. Cut 2 slices crosswise, 3/4 inch thick, and set aside. Peel the remaining pineapple, and slice into 3/4-inch-thick spears, working around core. Discard core.
• Divide half the butter mixture between baking sheets, dropping it by rounded teaspoons onto mats. Arrange pineapple spears and rounds in a single layer on top of butter mixture. Top pineapple with spoonfuls of remaining butter mixture. Roast, rotating pans and basting with pan juices after 15 minutes, for 30 minutes. Flip pineapple, then roast until dark golden brown, about 30 minutes more. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut rounds into 8 wedges, and reserve for garnish.
• Meanwhile, bring reserved vanilla pod, cardamom, allspice berries, water, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, and let stand for 30 minutes. Strain, and discard solids. Working in batches, blend liquid and roasted-pineapple spears with their pan juices on low speed until coarsely pureed. Increase speed to high, and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing firmly on solids. Discard solids.
• Heat pineapple mixture over low heat until heated through, then add rum if using. Divide among glasses, and top each with some of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and reserved pineapple wedges.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH BUTTER-RUM GLAZE AND VANILLA MASCARPONE

Steps:

• 1. Combine the rum, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer, whisking often, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, cooled, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• 2. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a sharp knife. Whisk the mascarpone and vanilla seeds together. (The mascarpone can be made a day in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated.)
• 3. Heat your grill to high.
• 4. Grill the pineapple slices, brushing frequently with the glaze, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• 5. Remove the pineapple to a platter or serving plates and top each slice with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.
