This tasty recipe will give your ham an Asian twist. The sweet and savory pineapple glaze, which is made with fragrant spices, makes the ham taste even better.
Ingredients: 1 bone-in ham, fully cooked 7-9 pounds. 1 cup pineapple juice. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup rice vinegar. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon ginger, grated. 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pineapple slices and fresh cilantro for garnish.
Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 325F 163C. To roast the ham, put it in a pan with the cut side facing down. Put pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, black pepper, Chinese five-spice powder, and minced garlic into a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture until the sugar is completely gone. Use some of the pineapple glaze to baste the ham after you're done cooking it. Once the oven is hot, put the ham in it and baste it with the pineapple glaze every 30 minutes. Keep doing this until the internal temperature reaches 140F 60C. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pound. Add pineapple slices around the ham about 15 to 30 minutes before it's done to make it look nice. After cooking, let the ham cool down for 15 minutes before cutting it. Add fresh cilantro on top, and serve with the rest of the pineapple glaze on the side. Enjoy the Asian Pineapple Glazed Ham, which is juicy and full of flavor.
