Let’s talk about Roasted Pineapple for a minute. This sweet goodness is totally my jam! From Roasted Jalapeño, Pineapple & Chicken Tenders to Bacon Wrapped Pineapple, the pineapple adds such a delicious sweetness to any savory dish. This Roasted Pineapple & Chipotle Honey Ham is no exception.

A second coat of the pineapple, honey and chipotle glaze is added towards the end of the cooking time along with the fresh pineapple to begin roasted. The oven temperature is cranked up and the honey gets a nice glaze on the outsize and the pineapple are perfectly caramelized.

When people talk about finger licking good recipes, this is precisely it. The combination of the salty and smokey ham with the sweet and spicy glaze is absolute perfection. The roasted pineapple are truly the finishing touch that puts it over the edge.

Serving: 1 grams

Ingredients

5-10 lb bone-in smoked ham
1 fresh pineapple peeled and cored
1 chipotle in adobo sauce
1/4 c. salted butter
1/3 c. honey

Steps

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Add 1/2 c. diced fresh pineapple, chipotle in adobo, melted butter and honey to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Line a large roasting pan with layers of tinfoil and spray with non-stick spray.
Trim the ham leaving 1/4" of fat. NOTE: It is important to leave just the right amount of fat. If you leave too much, the caramelized fat will be flabby. If you leave too little and the meat will dry out.
Place the ham in the lined roasting pan. Coat the ham with 1/3 of the chipotle mixture and cover tightly with tinfoil.
Bake the ham for 12-15 minutes per pound. (5lb ham = roughly 1 hour 10 lb ham = roughly 2 hours)
Meanwhile, chop the remaining pineapple into 1 inch chunks. Toss it with 1/3 of the chipotle mixture.
With about 20 minutes of cooking time remaining, remove the ham from the oven turn the temperature up to 450°F.
Brush the remaining chipotle mixture over the ham and add the pineapple to the pan. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the outside of the ham is caramelized and an internal thermometer reading reaches 135°F.
