Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil for greasing pan
1 (8- to 10-pound) partially cooked smoked shank-end ham (preferably Cook's brand)
3 cups unsweetened pineapple juice (24 fl ounces)
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup Dijon mustard (7 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Garnish: sprigs of fresh thyme
Special Equipment
an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Oil a large roasting pan.
  • If ham comes wrapped in plastic, rinse ham and pat dry. Cut away and discard any thick skin with a sharp paring knife, leaving a 1-inch band around shank end, then cut away all but about an 1/8-inch layer of fat where possible. Put ham, cut side down, in roasting pan. Pour 3/4 cup pineapple juice around ham and cover pan tightly with foil, then bake 1 hour.
  • While ham is baking, combine sugar and remaining 2 1/4 cups pineapple juice in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 3/4 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer pineapple syrup to a bowl and cool 5 minutes. Whisk in mustard, salt, and pepper, then pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl and stir in thyme. Reserve remaining mustard mixture for serving.
  • Discard foil from pan and brush ham with thyme mustard mixture, then bake, basting with pan juices occasionally, until thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 145 to 150°F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If pan juices evaporate during baking, add 1/2 cup water. Transfer ham to a platter, discarding pan juices, and let stand, uncovered, 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. Serve ham with reserved mustard mixture on the side.

I'm not sure what happened, but my ham turned out salty and inedible. I think I may have used too much salt in the glaze.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The ham is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce is to die for.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and both times the ham came out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my ham turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This glazed ham was a hit at our Easter dinner! The pineapple mustard sauce was the perfect complement to the ham, and the glaze gave it a beautiful golden brown crust. Even my picky kids loved it!
