Easy Pineapple Glazed Spiral Ham Recipe 445

MOIST SPIRAL CUT HAM WITH PINEAPPLE HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Place ham, left in plastic covering from company (and netting to make handling easier), into large container. Cover with hot tap water. Let sit for 45 minutes. Empty water and refill with hot tap water for another 45 minutes. This allows the internal temperature of ham to raise before placing in oven.
• 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Adjust oven rack to lowest position.
• 3. Remove ham from water and all packaging from company. Be sure to remove plastic disk covering bone. Place ham inside large oven bag making sure that the cut side is at bottom of bag. Gather bag tightly around ham and tie. Place in large roasting pan. Cut 4 small slits in top of bag with knife.
• 4. Bake ham until internal temperature reaches 100 degrees (approximately 90 minutes or 10 minutes per pound).
• 5. During last minutes of ham cooking time, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, paprika, and ginger in small saucepan. Once combined add pineapple juice and honey and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Consitency should just allow you to pour. If not, add more pineapple juice.
• 6. Remove ham from oven. Untie oven bag and roll down sides. Any juices inside bag you will want to keep within bag. Increase heat in oven to 350 degrees.
• 7. Starting at the bottom cut portion of the ham, hang pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks.
• 8. Slowly poor 1/4 of glaze over ham. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Repeat twice. You will still have glaze left over for those who may like more glaze with their ham.
• 9. After final oven glazing, remove ham from oven. Remove pineapple slices (if you wish) to a separate bowl for serving. There will be liquid in the bottom of the bag. My family likes this added to the leftover glaze to pour on individual ham slices and served with individual pineapple slices.
• 10. Place ham on platter and serve. Pour glaze and ham juices into gravy boat for service.

PINEAPPLE GLAZE FOR HAM

Steps:

• Before baking ham, place pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks and place cherries in center of pineapple.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl combine brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice. Mix together and microwave for about 5 minutes, until mixture is thick. Pour some of this glaze over the ham about every 15 minutes in the last hour of baking, until all is used.

EASY PINEAPPLE GLAZED SPIRAL HAM RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Whisk together the glaze ingredients, and generously slather all over the ham. Cover the ham, loosely, with foil and place into preheated oven set on a roasting rack for about 1 1/2 hours, total. During the last hour, remove the foil. Brush to spread glaze, evenly, if desired. If you end up with drippings, which I did, you can make an easy "gravy" for the ham. Here's what you do: Pour the drippings into a stove top pan. Add about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups low sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir to combine. To thicken the gravy make the slurry. For the slurry: In a bowl, add the cornstarch and whisk in enough cold water to make a thin slurry, without any lumps. If you have lumps, pour the mixture through a fine sieve. Add a small amount of the slurry, while whisking the gravy on medium-high. Add a very small amount, at a time, until the gravy thickens to your liking. Taste and season with coarse salt and black pepper, to taste.

PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a saucepan, stir together pineapple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and ground cloves. Bring to a boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes slightly syrupy (about 10-15 minutes). Set aside.
• Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Place ham in the pan, flat-side down. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with ¼-inch-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Arrange pineapple and cherries evenly on ham; secure with wooden toothpicks. Spoon some of the glaze over the ham.
• Bake at 325°F for a total of about 2 - 2 ½ hours, basting with the extra glaze and pan juices every 30 minutes. Shield the ham loosely with aluminum foil when it reaches the desired color, to prevent excess browning. The ham is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 140°F.
• Let the ham stand for at least 15 minutes, remove toothpicks, and carve.
