Chipotle Pineapple Ham

Servings:

This Easter ham, glazed with a rich, smoky-sweet blend of chipotle, brown sugar, pineapple, and bourbon, is an unforgettable combination! I can't take full credit for it, as it combines a few recipes I found, and the result is absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Place pineapple, brown sugar, chipotle peppers, bourbon, nutmeg, and ginger in a blender; blend until smooth.
  2. 2 Make diagonal cuts in ham in a diamond pattern, about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep, using a sharp knife. Place ham in a large bowl. Pour chipotle marinade over ham; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours, flipping ham occasionally.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. 4 Remove ham from marinade and shake off excess; reserve marinade. Place ham in a roasting pan. Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk into marinade. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick and glaze-like, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over ham.
  6. 6 Return ham to the oven; cook until glaze bakes onto ham, basting with glaze every 30 minutes, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham, near but not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours more.
