If you like lots of flavor, this is what to cook for Easter dinner. It's intense, it's smoky, it's unique... and it's probably the best recipe for ham you'll ever taste.
Ingredients
- 1 (5-7 lbs.) smoked, sliced ham shopping list
- Glaze: shopping list
- 1 C. brown sugar, well packed shopping list
- 1 can (10 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained shopping list
- 2-3 chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded shopping list
- 1-2 tbsp. adobo sauce (from your can of chipotles) shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger shopping list
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch shopping list
- 2 tbsp. cold water shopping list
- pinch salt shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place ham in a large baking dish, the cut end facing down.
- 2. With a sharp knife, score the skin of your ham in a tight pattern (if it doesn't come pre-scored). Bake for 15 minutes to get it started.
- 3. While ham is baking, prepare the glaze. To make the glaze, combine the sugar, pineapple, chilies, adobo sauce, nutmeg, and ginger in a blender. Blend well until smooth.
- 4. Pour this mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- 5. Mix the cornstarch with the water until dissolved, and whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook until thickened.
- 6. After the ham has baked 15 minutes, brush it with the glaze.
- 7. Baste ham every 15 minutes until heated through, which should take one hour or so. When it's ready, the internal temperature she be 140 degrees or so.
- 8. Serve any extra glaze as a dipping sauce on the side. Then watch your guests demand that this is what to cook for Easter dinner every year.
