Preserve Glazed Ham

Preserve Glazed Ham

What You Need:

5 to 7 lb. bone in ham
1 (6 oz) can pineapple juice
1 (10 oz) jar pineapple preserves

How to Make It:

Set the oven temperature to 325 degrees and allow the oven to heat up.
Score the surface of the ham by making criss cross cuts about 1/2 in deep into the outside of the ham.
Place a baking rack in a shallow baking pan and place the ham on the rack.
Pour the pineapple juice over the ham being sure to completely cover the top and sides of the ham.
Cover the ham tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Uncover the ham and brush the pineapple preserves all over the outside of the ham.
Return to the oven, uncovered, and continue baking 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the ham reaches 140 degrees.
Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter.
Allow the ham to rest 30 minutes before carving.

Serving Size: 12

Instead of using sticky gooey glazes try this with the preserves. Any type will work including apricot or orange marmalade. Just be sure to use the same type of juice as the preserves.
