Best Baked Ham With Pineapple Recipes

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.

BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk pineapple juice, brown sugar, and dry mustard in a bowl until brown sugar has dissolved.
• Place ham in a baking dish with cut side down and arrange pineapple rings and maraschino cherries onto the ham; secure with toothpicks if needed. Push cloves into ham and baste ham and fruit with pineapple juice glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven until glaze has baked onto ham, 1 1/2 to 2 hours; baste with glaze every 30 minutes.
• Turn on oven's broiler.
• Broil ham until the glaze forms a crust and the pineapple slices are browned, about 5 minutes.

BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place ham in roasting pan.
• Score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes.
• Insert cloves into diamonds (use as many as you'd like). I like to use quite a few.
• Cover and bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 hours. Longer if using an uncooked ham. Go according to package directions.
• Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice, pour over ham.
• Arrange pineapple and cherries on ham and secure with toothpicks.
• Bake, uncovered an additional 30-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
• Place ham in a roasting pan. Score the rind of the ham with a diamond pattern. Press a clove into the center of each diamond. Drain the juice from the pineapple rings into a medium bowl, and stir in the brown sugar and lemon-lime soda. Coat the ham with this mixture. Arrange the pineapple rings over the outside of the ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring, and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake uncovered for 4 to 5 hours, basting frequently with the juices, until the internal temperature of the ham is 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Be sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Remove toothpicks before serving.

BAKED HAM STEAK WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Slice ham into thick slices.
• Place the ham steak in a shallow ovenproof pan and place the pineapple slices on top. Pour the pineapple juice over all.
• Place the ham steak in the oven and bake for 20 minutes (uncovered).
• After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven up to broil.
• Baste the ham with the pan juices. Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the pineapple slices and dust with cinnamon.
• Return to oven and broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until the pineapple is lightly browned. Serve each ham steak with a pineapple slice.
