Honeydears Holiday Pineapple Baked Ham Recipes

HONEYDEAR'S HOLIDAY PINEAPPLE BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1 inch of water into a baking dish.
• Place ham flat-side down into the baking dish. Slice diagonal squares over the top. Insert cloves into the diagonal points.
• Combine pie filling, brown sugar, and mustard in a bowl, mashing the strawberries as you stir.
• Mix 2 tablespoons pineapple juice from the can with cornstarch in a separate bowl; add to the strawberry mixture. Stir; final texture should be fairly thick. Spread mixture over the ham. Pour remaining pineapple juice on top, taking care not to rinse off the glaze. Tent ham with aluminum foil to help retain moisture.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting ham occasionally with the juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Anchor pineapple slices with toothpicks onto ham. Broil in the oven until slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove ham from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing from the smallest end to the center.

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 GLAZE FOR BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a small saucepan including the juice/syrup from the pineapple.
• Turn heat on to medium and stir constantly to prevent burning.
• Continue to heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
• Allow mixture to boil for approximately 1 minute.
• If mixture refuses to thicken, add more cornstarch- a little at a time.
• (Be sure to mix your cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup to make a smooth liquidified mixture before adding it to the hot sauce.) Pour finished sauce into a serving bowl, complete with a ladle, and let your guests pour it over baked sliced ham.
