Sweet Heavenly Ham

List of Ingredients




HAM (any type canned, shank, bone in doesn't matter)

2 large cans crushed pineapple
1 box (16 ounces) light brown sugar
3 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Maple Pancake Syrup ( any brand)
3 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with water to thick milky consistency (may take a bit more cornstarch and water to thicken the glaze)
Salt and Pepper
1 can sliced Pineapple Rings


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

Grease , large pan big enough to hold your ham with room around the sides for drippings. Sprinkle ham with Salt and Pepper. Stab ham several times with sharp knife, if a canned ham is used you can slice like scoring with a few deep stabs into the ham through to the bottom.

The Glaze:

In large sauce pan put both cans of crushed pineapple and all ingredients NOT THE CORNSTARCH YET. Heat to slow boil stir with whip or slotted spoons, steady so bottom doesn't scorch. Let boil for a few minutes (about 3) then drizzle the cornstarch and water mixture into the pineapple mixture , stirring constantly as the glaze thickens. This is where you may need more cornstarch depending on the pineapple you use (some brands have more juice or water in them) the consistency of the glaze should be that of almost a (German chocolate cake frosting with the nuts etc) you want it so when you spoon it on the ham it won't just run off.

Once its basically thickened turn heat off let it cool to warm to touch almost. Then glaze your ham the glaze then tends to stick to the ham better and not run off, as quickly. Cover ham all over as best it will stay.

OPTIONAL: Sliced Pineapple rings then tooth picked into the ham.

Bake ham uncovered for 1 hour check and baste as you want to keep the glaze on the ham and the rings (if used). Make aluminum tent and cover the ham after the first hour . REDUCE OVEN TEMP NOW to 300 Degrees. And bake another hour. When you serve the ham place warm glaze on the table to add to each serving if the person desires
