🍍 Pineapple Glaze for Baked Ham 🍖
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 2 cups of glaze
Description:
Posted at the request of my sister. Glazing a ham while cooking is wonderful but the first person to the platter usually makes off with the glazed ends and the rest of the people get a “glazed rim”. The solution in our house is to make lots of glaze and pour it over each slice!
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Brown sugar |
| 1 can | Crushed pineapple |
| 2 tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 1 tsp | Dry mustard |
| 1 tsp | Prepared mustard |
| 1/4 cup | Cornstarch |
| Pinch | Salt |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Place all ingredients in a small saucepan including the juice/syrup from the pineapple.
-
Heat and Stir:
- Turn the heat on to medium and stir constantly to prevent burning.
-
Thicken the Glaze:
- Continue to heat until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
-
Boil and Finish:
- Allow the mixture to boil for approximately 1 minute.
-
Adjust Thickness:
- If the mixture refuses to thicken, add more cornstarch, a little at a time. 🌽
- Mix your cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup to make a smooth liquid mixture before adding it to the hot sauce.
-
Serve:
- Pour the finished sauce into a serving bowl, complete with a ladle.
- Let your guests pour this delightful pineapple glaze over slices of baked ham! 🍖🍍
Tips:
- 🌟 Make sure to stir the glaze constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
- 🍋 The lemon juice adds a zesty kick to balance the sweetness of the glaze.
- 🌽 Adjust the thickness of the glaze to your liking by adding more or less cornstarch.
- 🍖 This glaze is not just for ham! Try it on grilled chicken or pork chops for a burst of tropical flavor.
