Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lb Ham
- 8 slices Fresh pineapple slices
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Dark rum
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground cloves
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the ham in a roasting pan with the cut side facing down.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the dark rum, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, cloves, orange juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Pour half of the glaze over the ham, making sure to evenly coat the surface.
Arrange the pineapple slices around the ham, either in the pan or secured onto the ham with toothpicks.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 60 minutes, basting the ham with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the ham is caramelized and heated through.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with the caramelized pineapple slices and any additional glaze drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
