Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 boneless fully cooked ham ((about 3 lbs/1.4 kg))
  • 1 can sliced pineapple
  • ½ cup brown sugar ((90g))
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

Instruction

  • Combine pineapple juice from the can (about 1 cup/240ml) with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until pineapple juice is reduced by half. It should be thick and syrupy.
  • Remove ham from packaging. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Cut ham into ¼ inch thick slices until about an inch from the base. Do not cut through.
  • Place a slice of pineapple in each cut in the ham. Secure with bamboo skewer on each end right through the entire chunk of ham.
  • Brush half of the glaze onto the ham and into the folds of the cut slices. Reserve the other half of the glaze for later.
  • Pour some water into the pan.
  • Place ham in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the ham from the oven and brush the remaining glaze onto the ham. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Allow ham to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skewers before serving.
