Glazed Dole Pineapple and Farmland Mānuka Honey Ham
A classic combo of pineapple and ham with a contemporary twist.
Ingredients
1 Farmland Mānuka
1 Dole Tropical Gold Pineapple - chop enough for 2 cups and thinly slice the remainder
Reserve the juice
For the Glaze
Reserved pineapple juice made up to 3/4 cup with orange juice
Zest of 2 oranges
1/2 cup bourbon or rum
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 cinnamon quill
1 star anise
1 cup honey
1 1/2cm piece of ginger, sliced
A few whole cloves
Pomegranate arils and fresh herbs to garnish (optional)
Method
1. Pineapple bourbon and honey glaze: Place all glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer for 30 minutes to reduce until the glaze is thickened - it should coat the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool.
2. Score the surface of the ham lightly.
3. Spread two cups of the chopped pineapple in the bottom of a small roasting pan. Drizzle a little glaze over the pineapple pieces, then nestle the ham on the pineapple. Place some thinly sliced pineapple on the ham, securing the piece with a clove. Brush generously with glaze and bake according to ham instructions. Brush again with glaze 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
4. Serve the ham warm on a bed of roasted pineapple with extra glaze for drizzling.
