HAM-Ham and Pineapple Skewers Glazed with Coffee

By Unblond1

19/04/14 - Easter - Very good. I found it a bit dry but Dan loved. Glaze was great. Try on the grill rather than under the broiler and use fresh pineapple if at all possible.

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve espresso in hot water. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Let cool to room temperature. Add to a ziplock bag with cubed ham and Pineapple chunks. Refrigerate and marinate several hours or overnight.

Preheat broiler. Drain ham and Pineapple, reserving marinade.

Thread ham and Pineapple alternately on soaked skewers. Broil, basting occasionally, until golden and heated through.

Warm remaining marinade and serve on the side.
