Hasselback Pineapple Ham
This boneless Hasselback Pineapple Ham is perfect for a smaller family or crowd. Just as delicious and much easier and faster to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 boneless fully cooked ham (about 3 lbs/1.4 kg)
- 1 can sliced pineapple
- ½ cup brown sugar (90g)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Combine pineapple juice from the can (about 1 cup/240ml) with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until pineapple juice is reduced by half. It should be thick and syrupy.
- Remove ham from packaging. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Cut ham into ¼ inch thick slices until about an inch from the base. Do not cut through.
- Place a slice of pineapple in each cut in the ham. Secure with bamboo skewer on each end right through the entire chunk of ham.
- Brush half of the glaze onto the ham and into the folds of the cut slices. Reserve the other half of the glaze for later.
- Pour some water into the pan.
- Place ham in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the ham from the oven and brush the remaining glaze onto the ham. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Allow ham to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skewers before serving.
