HAWAIIAN STYLE PINEAPPLE-GUAVA GLAZED HAM image

This recipe for our Holiday Ham is made every year at either Thanksgiving or Christmas. The original recipe is my mom's, but this recipe here has a little twists and tweaks that I've made. It's sooooo delicious! The photo is not mine, but will soon be replaced with one of my own.

Number Of Ingredients 20

HAM:
1 can(s) ham (5 lb.) or a smoked ham
whole cloves
5 Tbsp yellow mustard
1 c brown sugar
1 can(s) pineapple rings
toothpicks
maraschino cherries
GLAZE:
1 c guava jelly
2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 c white wine
1/2 c pineapple juice
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 tsp ground cloves
SAUCE:
1 c ham glaze that was set aside
1 can(s) cherry pie filling, (21 oz.)
1/2 c raisins (opt.)

Steps:

  • 1. Place the ham and the drippings in a deep dish roasting pan.
  • 2. Score the top of the ham, diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep and an inch apart. In each diagonal point (like a grid), push a whole clove in each point of the ham. Poke whole cloves around the sides of the ham.
  • 3. Spread the yellow mustard onto the top of the ham and the cloves.
  • 4. Pack the brown sugar on the top of the ham, making a slight mound.
  • 5. Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar, over lapping them for a nice arrangement. Pour the pineapple juice into the roasting pan. Toothpick a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring to hold it there during the baking process.
  • 6. Bake the ham at 275 degrees for 2 hours, tenting the ham with foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
  • 7. GLAZE:
  • 8. Combine all the ingredients and cook over medium-low heat till well incorporated.
  • 9. Set aside a cup of the cooked glaze mixture for the sauce.
  • 10. Pour the remaining glaze over the ham during the last 1/2 an hour of baking.
  • 11. SAUCE:
  • 12. Combine the juices in the roasting pan with the ham glaze, cherry pie filling and raisins (opt.), in a saucepan and warm it over low heat. Remove from heat.
  • 13. Slice the ham, use the pineapple rings and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the hot sauce over the ham slices or serve it on the side.
