Pineapple Glazed Ham
Food & Cooking Tips
Our
Favorite Holiday Ham Recipe
This flavorful glazed ham was always on our holiday table. Mom would score
the ham studding it with whole cloves. She'd arrange pineapple rings and
cherry's on the top and glaze it while it cooked. This ham is always a
hit with my family today.
Pineapple Glazed Ham
This is another of those dishes that was passed down through the family,
no recipe. The closest recipe to ours is this Pineapple Glazed Ham from
Epicurious. This recipe calls for a 14-16 lb. ham so if you cook a smaller
ham like I do you can just half the recipe. I've never added garlic to
mine, but may have to try it next time. I also don't use the ginger, and
use half pineapple juice, half fresh orange juice.
1 smoked bone-in Virginia
ham (14 to 16 pounds)
4 cups pineapple juice
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
12 to 16 whole cloves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup light-brown sugar
About 10 pineapple rings
About 10 maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine the ginger, and garlic and pineapple juice in a saucepan. Bring
to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, reducing
the liquid by half. Strain the mixture and reserve.
Trim the thick rind and all
but 1/4 inch of fat from the surface of the ham.
Using a sharp knife, score a diamond pattern and insert the cloves at the crossed points of the diamonds.
Place the ham in a shallow baking pan. Brush the mustard all over the top. Pat the sugar atop the mustard.
Decoratively arrange the pineapple rings, securing with cherries and toothpicks in the centers. Pour the reserved pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven.
My notes:
Bake per weight requirement (see below) Baste every 15 minutes.
A fully cooked ham,
whole, bone in should cook 15-18 minutes per pound.
A fully cooked ham, half, bone in should cook 18-24 minutes per pound.
Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. I always serve the pineapples,
cherry's and sauce on the side.
