Chipotle Pineapple Ham
- 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 fluid ounces bourbon whiskey
- 1 (10 pound) smoked ham
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Place chipotle peppers, brown sugar, pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, and bourbon whiskey in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the ham about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep in a diamond pattern. Place smoked ham in a large bowl; pour the chipotle marinade over the ham and refrigerate ham in marinade for 3 to 6 hours, turning ham occasionally in the marinade to flavor all sides.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Remove ham from marinade, reserving the marinade; place ham into a roasting pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Bring the marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk the mixture into the hot marinade. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- After ham has baked for 30 minutes, spoon the hot marinade over the ham.
- Return ham to oven and continue baking until glaze is baked onto the ham and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham, not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 more hours. Baste ham with the glaze every 30 minutes.
