Description

This is a flavor packed holiday ham recipe that has the most amazing pineapple glaze. Using an oven bag keeps the ham ultra moist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 pound bone-in ham (spiral cut or unsliced)
  • Reynolds Kitchen Large Sized Oven Bag
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup ginger ale
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 (10- ounce) jar maraschino cherries
  • 1 (20- ounce) can pineapple slices, drained
  • 30 (ish) toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove all but one rack in the oven, and place that in the lowest position to ensure room for the ham and the bag.
  2. Place the flour in the oven bag and shake to coat.
  3. If using a spiral sliced ham, place the ham in an oven bag and place into a large roasting pan. If the ham is not spiral sliced, score the outside of the ham with a knife in a criss-cross pattern, making 1/4- inch slices. Then place the scored ham in the oven bag, and place the bag in the roasting pan.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ginger ale, maple syrup, pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of maraschino cherry juice until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture on top of the ham in the bag, separating the slices, or cuts slightly so the liquid gets in the ham as well as on top.
  6. Place the pineapple slices on top of the ham. Use the toothpicks to secure the pineapples into the ham. Place a maraschino cherry inside each pineapple slice and secure it using a toothpick.
  7. Seal the bag tightly using the tie provided in the box. Cut 6, 1/2- inch slits in the top of the bag.
  8. Bake for 2 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the meat reads 140°F.
  9. Allow the ham to sit in the bag for 15 minutes before opening.

Notes

optional glaze – when the ham is baked, transfer the remaining juice in the bag into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until it’s reduced by half. Drizzle this over top of the ham.

Store ham airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
