1cuphoney
1cupunsweetened pineapple juice
1teaspoonground cloves
½teaspoonground cinnamon
2whole oranges juiced
1lemon juiced
Instructions
Pre heat the oven to 325F and then remove any packaging or netting the ham may be wrapped in. If the ham still has a rind, remove this. Score the fat with a sharp paring knife. Try to avoid cutting into the ham itself.
Place the ham with the cut side down in a roasting pan and add ¼ cup of water to the pan. Cover the ham with tinfoil or a roasting pan lid. This will help keep moisture in the ham as it comes up to temperature. Cook the ham for 1 hour, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 120F. Use a meat thermometer to check this.
As the ham cooks prepare the glaze by combining all the glaze ingredients in a pot and gently bringing them to a simmer. Cook the glaze until it starts to thicken slightly.
After the first hour is up, remove the lid from the ham and remove any liquid that may be in the pan. Set the juice aside, and turn the oven up to 350F. Take ⅓ of the glaze you made, and pour it over the ham, making sure to fully coat the ham. Roast the ham for 15 minutes
Take the pineapple slices and pin them to the ham, making sure to evenly cover the ham. Using a ladle or large spoon baste the ham and pineapple slices with any glaze in the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste the ham every ten minutes for the next half hour.
Take the temperature of the ham to see how far done it is. It should be at least around 150F- 155F by this point.
Turn up the temperature to 375F, and bake the honey and pineapple glazed ham, for another 15 minutes to lightly broil the pineapple.
Remove the ham from the oven, and let it rest for 10 minutes. As the ham rests, pour any remaining glaze( both in the pan and on the stove ) into the juice you set aside earlier. Thicken the sauce with cornstarch or a roux.
