Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325˚ F.

2. Remove the ham from the wrapper and lightly rinse with water.
Carefully make slits on the surface forming diamonds, especially over the fat.
Place ham on a roasting pan. Bake according to the directions on wrap.

3. Meanwhile in a pot or small saucepan combine all ingredients for the glaze and bring to a simmer and until reduced (15-20 min.) Do not let the liquid caramelize or harden, if this happens you need to start over again.

4. An hour before removing the ham, baste the ham with the glaze every ten-fifteen minutes. Remove from the oven.

5. Roast or grill pineapple slices. Cut the ham into slices and garnish with pineapple slices if you like.


6. If leftover glaze pour over the pineapple, or set it on a small bowl on the table as dressing.

Notes:

Before I put the ham in the oven, I cover it lightly with aluminum foil, this way the ham does not get dry.

One more thing – do not discard the bone. Save it for stock, soup or beans.
