Pineapple, beer glazed, baked ham.






I apologize for being so untimely and posting this after Easter, this was a last minute recipe I decided to whip up for.
I figured since ham is good why not post this anyways. The cool thing about this recipe is you can really make it your own and get fun with it:Ingredients up for interpretation-*Type of mustard (although I recommend a spicy mustard ((seedless))*Type of beer (I recommend a brown ale or a stout)
keep in mind you are mixing the pineapple sweetness with a little bite from the mustard. You don’t want to go too crazy or your flavors will most likely start to clash instead of blend together. I also recommend staying away from IPAs for this one. (just my opinion though, do whatcha want!!)
*soda--- I used coke but you can most definitely use Dr. Pepper 
*spices and herbs- pick your poison

Ingredients:

• Ham of choice
• Beer of choice (12 oz)
• Soda (1 can)
• ½ cup of mustard 
• 3 cups of brown sugar (dark)
• Spices and herbs of choice
• tbs applecider vinegar

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees, set your ham on a flat baking sheet.

(cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to avoid ruining your pan)
• Slice ham vertically and horizontally like a checkerboard (only deep enough to be able to sprinkle your spices on top and have them fall into the small cuts you have made)






• Sprinkle spices on top
• Cover ham in aluminum foil and bake 2 hours
• While ham is baking make your glaze
• Slice or dice pineapple
• Add your brown sugar to a medium sauce pan
• Add mustard
• Add vinegar
• Add ½ can soda, 6 oz of beer 


• Add pineapple


• Bring to boil
• Reduce heat and let darken and thicken
• Take ham out of over and pour glaze over placing pieces of sliced/diced pineapple on top


• Leave ham uncovered and place back in over for 15-20 mins or until glaze darks slightly and starts to harden
• Check every 15 minutes until ready 


EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
