Pineapple And Ginger Glazed Ham
This Pineapple and Ginger Glazed Ham recipe is a perfect addition to your Christmas Island Cuisine feast. The combination of sweet pineapple and zesty ginger creates a delicious glaze that perfectly complements the savory ham.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-10 pound) fully-cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern.
- In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, and ground cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored lines.
- Bake the ham in the preheated oven, basting with the glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), about 2 hours.
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
