CLASSIC PINEAPPLE-APRICOT GLAZED HAM



Classic Pineapple-Apricot Glazed Ham image

A gorgeous glazed ham calls for a celebration, but it can be a bit daunting to make one. It doesn't have to be that way. As long as you buy the right ham (that's what your butcher is for, friends!), it's a snap to put together a flavorful, fragrant glaze -- and that's really all you need to make this showstopper of a roast.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 9- to 10-pound bone-in fully-smoked ham (butt or shank half)
2 tablespoons whole cloves
Zest and juice of 2 limes
8 thin slices fresh ginger
2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • For the ham: Remove the ham from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, 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. Insert the cloves into the ham, placing them at the intersections of the cuts (you may have some cloves left over).
  • Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours and 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound).
  • Meanwhile make the glaze: Squeeze the lime juice into a small saucepan. Add the ginger and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then stir in the lime zest, apricot preserves and Dijon.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Pour half the pineapple glaze over the ham and brush to coat. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add more. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until glossy and well browned, about 45 minutes more.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. Carve the ham into slices and serve.

PORK CHOPS OR PORK RIBS WITH APRICOT PINEAPPLE SAUCE



Pork Chops or Pork Ribs With Apricot Pineapple Sauce image

Meat is browned with fat drained. Ribs are cut in 2 or 3 rib pieces The sauce is poured over and the meat is baked . Everything can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and then baked. I like to use pork chops but any type of chop can be used, venison, elk, buffalo or beef round steak cut in serving pieces. Grilled pineapple can be served as a side dish with rice or noodles or mashed potatoes. The recipe started from using pineapple juice thickened with cornstarch and soaked dried apricots; years ago there was not combination preserves to the present recipe posted.Photos show pork chops, steak and maui maui fish. It is delicious with all meats.

2 limes
8 slice ginger
2 c pineapple juice (unsweetned)
1 c apricot preserves
1/4 c dijon mustard

Steps:

It takes some work but it is totally worth it! It was so juicy and almost falling off the bone when it was done! Enjoy! :)

Tips:

  • Prep your fruits: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and dice your pineapple and apricots. You can also peel the pineapple if you prefer.
