Recipe Summary Chipotle Pineapple Ham
Easter Ham with a chipotle/pineapple/bourbon mixture that's to die for! Don't want to take credit for it though, it's a mixture of a couple recipes that I found.Ingredients | Homogeneous Mixture Examples Molecules1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce2 cups firmly packed brown sugar1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained½ teaspoon ground nutmeg½ teaspoon ground ginger2 fluid ounces bourbon whiskey1 (10 pound) smoked ham¼ cup cornstarch¼ cup cold waterDirectionsPlace chipotle peppers, brown sugar, pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, and bourbon whiskey in a blender and blend until smooth.Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the ham about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep in a diamond pattern. Place smoked ham in a large bowl; pour the chipotle marinade over the ham and refrigerate ham in marinade for 3 to 6 hours, turning ham occasionally in the marinade to flavor all sides.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Remove ham from marinade, reserving the marinade; place ham into a roasting pan.Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.Bring the marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk the mixture into the hot marinade. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.After ham has baked for 30 minutes, spoon the hot marinade over the ham.Return ham to oven and continue baking until glaze is baked onto the ham and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham, not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 more hours. Baste ham with the glaze every 30 minutes.Important! It's gonna be really spicy if you don't de-seed the chipotle peppers. I usually deseed all the peppers. If I want it spicy, I leave a couple peppers with their seeds intact.Info | Homogeneous Mixture Examples Moleculesprep:
