GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE-RAISIN SAUCE
Serves 18.
• 5-pound cooked boneless ham
• 1 can (6 ounces) frozen pineapple-orange or pineapple juice concentrate
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 3/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place ham on rack in shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, for 1 1/4 hours, until internal temperature (measured with a meat thermometer) is 140 degrees F. (about 15-18 minutes per pound.)
In small saucepan, combine half of the juice concentrate, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 3 tablespoons vinegar and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Baste the ham with glaze the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Remove ham from oven, slice and serve with Pineapple-Raisin Sauce.
Pineapple-Raisin Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, sauté onion in butter until tender.
Add remaining juice concentrate, water, raisins, maple syrup and mustard.
Stir together 1/4 cup vinegar and cornstarch; stir into raisin mixture.
Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
