Spicy Pineapple-Glazed Ham
Serves: Makes 10 to 12 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (10- to 11-pound) bone-in smoked ham (shank portion)
  • 1 (20-ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved
  • 1 cup pineapple preserves
  • 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
  • 1½ tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • Garnish: fresh parsley, fresh celery leaves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Line a roasting pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
  2. In prepared pan, pour 1 cup water.
  3. Using a sharp knife, lightly score outside of ham. Place ham in prepared pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together reserved pineapple juice, preserves, mustard, and Sriracha; brush mixture onto ham. Place pineapple slices on ham, securing with wooden picks if needed. Loosely cover with foil.
  5. Bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion of ham registers 160°, about 1½ hours more, brushing with juice mixture occasionally and loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Transfer ham to a serving platter, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and celery leaves, if desired.
Notes
To score a ham, make shallow diamond-shape cuts across the surface. This helps the outer layer of fat on the ham get crisp in the oven.
