How to Make Baked Ham Glazed With Pineapple And Chipotle Peppers

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Combine 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped, seeds included or removed as desired), 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Place a 5-7 pound bone-in ham, cut-side down, in a large roasting pan.
  6. Score the ham's skin in a crosshatch pattern (optional).
  7. Bake the ham for 15 minutes.
  8. Brush half of the glaze over the ham.
  9. Bake for another 30 minutes.
  10. Brush with the remaining glaze.
  11. Continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) and the glaze is caramelized. Baste halfway through.
  12. Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
