Classic Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham Recipes

CLASSIC PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°. To a saucepan, add the crushed pineapple with juices, brown sugar, dijon mustard, mustard powder, clove, ginger, and white pepper. Bring the glaze to boil over medium heat then reduce the heat to low for the sauce to thicken and become syrupy; about 6-8 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes or so.
• Place the ham into a double foil-lined roasting pan and pour the glaze. Secure each pineapple ring and cherry in the center with toothpicks.
• Cover the roasting pan with more aluminum foil and bake the ham for 1 hour and 40 minutes in a 375° preheated oven. Baste the ham with the juices from the pan every 20 minutes or so. After an hour and 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED BONELESS HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham on a cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, score the top and sides in a diagonal crosshatch pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Push the cloves into the ham if using, placing them at the intersections of the cuts. Put the ham, scored side-up, on a rack set in a roasting pan.
• Drain the pineapple rings, 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 into the bottom of the pan and tent the ham loosely with foil. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, 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 ham and carefully brush a third of the glaze all over. 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 before slicing.

BROWN SUGAR AND PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the ham, cut side down, into a roasting pan.
• Cut the skin off the pineapple with a sharp knife and cut out any brown spots of skin left behind. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch slices and cut the cores out of the slices. Pin the slices onto the ham with toothpicks.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• While the ham is baking, mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe ceramic or glass bowl and microwave on medium power until the glaze is boiling and slightly thickened. Work carefully because the glaze will be sticky and very hot.
• Pour about half the glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple about 1 hour before the end of baking; pour the rest over the ham about 30 minutes before the end of baking.
