Provided by Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2.5 lbs Pre-Cooked Boneless Ham, casing removed & large diced
1 Large Fresh Pineapple, peeled, cored & large diced
1/2 cup pineapple or orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp dried ground ginger, or to taste
1-2 Tbsp cornstarch + 1-2 Tbsp COLD water

Steps:

Combine juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, & ginger.
Marinade ham dices in the mixture at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator; I like to use a ziploc bag to keep mine in & occasionally mix it up by squeezing the ham around in the bag. Drain ham & SAVE marinade.
After soaking your skewers in water, alternate your ham & pineapple. Leave a little bit of space between them for more even cooking.
Heat marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. You may add additional brown sugar & ginger to taste, if desired. Wait for mixture to come to a boil & add cornstarch/water slurry. Whisk until boiling & thickened up. Keep warm until ready to grill. This makes a nice thick glaze to add to your kabobs.
Grill skewers until heated through & starting to caramelize, basting on both sides with your warm glaze.
