I usually have a solid take on what Golden Blossom Honey recipes that I bring to you each week since they are always my first choice when I am looking for meal inspiration. This week though, I figured that while my family doesn't eat it, I'd still throw a ham recipe into the mix for those of you who will be celebrating the upcoming Easter holiday this month. I've went a little heavy on the vegetarian offerings this year so far, and we do like to keep things well rounded around these parts, so ham was the obvious choice to break things up a bit. I saw this Savory Glazed Ham recipe on the Golden Blossom Honey recipe index and thought the glaze sounded interesting. I used to make my own brown sugar and pineapple glaze when we would host Easter at our place, but their option offered a savory flavor profile compared to my sweet and I was intrigued.
Even though I am not a ham eater, I do adore roasted pineapple. Even better when they have a yummy glaze coated on them! This glaze still offered a touch of the sweet that I'm used to because of the honey, but it was toned down quite a bit with the addition of the other ingredients. I was a little curious about the Worcestershire sauce and coffee granules, but ended up pleasantly surprised with how much I adored this glaze. I also liked the rich coloring it left on the meat. I did take this ham to a family in need so it wouldn't go to waste and got such positive feedback on the flavor, I am going to send the recipe to my in-laws as a suggestion for their Easter meal this year. My half ham cooked up in 45 minutes, so with prep you can have your main dish on the table in just under 1 hour. It's perfect for small family gatherings, and if you end up with leftovers, the savory flavors would be really great in a pot of ham and bean soup.
Ingredients
4-5 pound fully cooked boneless ham half
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices, drained
Glaze:
1 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dry mustard
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules

Do you like your glaze more savory or sweet?
Count on you to put pineapple on everything LOL We never glazed nor roasted ham for Easter, in my country, ham is cooked, boiled with sausages in a huge pot and then eaten with eggs, radishes, horse radish and spring onions on Easter morning. It is literally the only meal I miss as a vegetarian LOL
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Easter, this is the first time in like five years or more that I won't have any chocolate eggs, because Lidl has raised prices for them something terrible, I refuse to give them that much for a handful of eggs.
Easter has always been my least favorite meal. Though my sister in law makes the best cheesy potatoes and spinach balls, so I have started enjoying it a bit more over the years.
DeleteI haven't bought much chocolate in the last year either. The prices have more than doubled and I'm not rewarding the greedy bastards with my hard earned money. I've also stopped my Starbucks run weekly as well. Prices are just getting too out of hand for what used to be treats. Now you need to mortgage your house for a bag of chocolates it seems.
I don’t really do glazes on anything these days. Ham was my favorite meat when I was a kid, but I no longer like it.
ReplyDeleteI loved it as a kid too, but really started disliking it in my 20's. My daughters never liked it, but Jason thinks it's great.
DeleteI love ham. This sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary!
DeleteGracias por la receta. Tomo nota. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat is good that it was a hit with the family in need. Good to stay well rounded to I suppose haha as long as one doesn't get too rounded.
ReplyDeletePlease tell that to my butt. It seems to get rounder by the minute.
DeleteWell it is good to have cushioning.
DeleteThat's wonderful that you shared your ham. A little bonus before the upcoming holiday. I've been thinking of trying to find ways to help those who need a hand up in a much bigger way than I have ever done before. Not quite sure how that will look yet. Broke my ankle at the end of January and it's been annoying me since, so I have to wait for that to heal first, and I wish it'd hurry up already. I make it worse walking but how else can I get around? Thankfully, I have a wheelchair for the classroom. Thanks for sharing the ham recipe. Golden Blossom never fails to come through with these delicious recipes. xoxo
ReplyDeleteUgh, a broken ankle? I'm sorry to hear that! I'll have to email you to catch up. Seems like I've dropped the ball there if I didn't know you had an injury since January!
DeleteI didn't really mention it. I'm tired of it already. Nothing to make you appreciate your ankles like breaking one, lolol. xoxo
DeleteI don't partake ham
ReplyDeleteIt's not the most popular meat.
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I've never seen ham cooked that way before and it looks so good. I think your sisters-in-law will love the recipe! I also really liked seeing the pineapple on top of the ham, the mix of flavors must be great!
I wish you a happy Sunday!
Thank you, Marisa!
DeleteVery interesting recipe. It would never occur to me to mix ham, pineapple and honey...but it seems to be a tasty meal. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring us to try new things in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana!
DeleteWe don't eat pork but thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
