Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg boneless ham
- 240 ml pineapple juice
- 50 g brown sugar
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 165°C (330°F).
Place the boneless ham in a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil, fat side up.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
Add ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and garlic powder to the mixture and bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth and then add this slurry into the saucepan. Stir continuously until the glaze thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Brush about one-third of the glaze over the ham.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour.
Remove the foil and brush another third of the glaze over the ham. Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and bake for another 15 minutes until the glaze is glossy and slightly caramelized.
Remove the ham from the oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
