Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lb fully cooked ham
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
While the ham is baking, prepare the pineapple sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the crushed pineapple, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, honey, and butter to the saucepan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the ham is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of ham drizzled with warm pineapple sauce. Enjoy!
