Description
A delicious glazed ham recipe complemented with sweet pineapple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple (with juice)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 (7-pound) semi-boneless ham
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Drain the pineapple slices, reserving the juice. Set the pineapple slices aside for now.
- Add the pineapple juice, brown sugar, and cloves to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking to combine. Remove from the heat.
- Place the ham on a large cutting board. Score lines in the ham about ¼-inch deep to make a diamond pattern.
- Put the ham into a roasting pan or 9×13-inch baking dish. Drizzle the glaze on top.
- Use toothpicks to secure the pineapple slices to the outside of the ham. Cover with foil, and bake until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pound of meat.
- Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, remove the foil and baste the ham. To brown the top, broil for a few minutes.
- Let the ham rest for a few minutes before carving and serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes a flavorful and impressive main dish for gatherings.
- Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked properly.
