Tender slices of this fruit-glazed ham are on our family's Christmas menu every year. Topping the meat with pineapple slices, cherries and cloves makes it look festive-and adds to the flavor of this easy holiday entree. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma Ingredients:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (5 to 7 pounds) |
whole cloves |
2 cans (8 ounces each) sliced pineapple, drained |
maraschino cherries with stems |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup peach or apricot nectar |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Secure pineapple slices and cherries on ham with toothpicks.
2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, peach nectar, vinegar and ground cloves. Spoon half of glaze over ham.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 2 hours. Uncover; bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with remaining glaze. Yield: 8-10 servings.
