Pineapple Glaze for Baked Ham

alec.reichert's Note:

Posted at the request of my sister. Glazing a ham while cooking is wonderful but the first person to the platter usually makes off the the glazed ends and the rest of the people get a "glazed rim". The solution in our house is to make lots of glaze and pour it over each slice!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-6

Yield: 2.0 cups

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 (10 ounce) can crushed pineapple
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard or 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan including the juice/syrup from the pineapple.
2. Turn heat on to medium and stir constantly to prevent burning.
3. Continue to heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
4. Allow mixture to boil for approximately 1 minute.
5. If mixture refuses to thicken, add more cornstarch- a little at a time.
6. (Be sure to mix your cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup to make a smooth liquidified mixture before adding it to the hot sauce.) Pour finished sauce into a serving bowl, complete with a ladle, and let your guests pour it over baked sliced ham.

[haven't the slightest]

This was excellent! I used about 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice and pineapple tidbits. It went really well with smoked ham. Thanks for the recipe.
