Ingredients for Barbecued Ham

  • Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • Lemon Juice
  • Onion Salt
  • Soy Sauce
  • Smoked Ham
  • 4-6 pineapple slices (about ½ inch thick)

How to Make Barbecued Ham

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir well.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Remove the sauce from heat and set aside.
  5. Trim any excess fat from the ham slices.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  7. Grill the ham slices for 20-25 minutes, turning and basting with the reserved sauce every 5 minutes, until the ham is heated through and slightly caramelized.
  8. Grill pineapple slices (about 4-6 slices, ½ inch thick) for 1 minute per side, or until grill marks appear.
  9. Garnish each ham slice with a grilled pineapple slice and serve immediately with the remaining sauce.
  10. **Variation:** For a citrus twist, substitute 1 cup orange juice and ½ cup lime juice for the pineapple juice and lemon juice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
