Baked Ham with Pineapple-Honey Glaze

Serves: 8 to 10

Prep Time: 10 minutes          

Cook Time: 2 hours

 

 

For the grown ups

Make-Ahead: The honey-pineapple mixture can be made 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated.

Ingredients

3kg Coles Finest Free Range RSPCA Half Leg Ham or 3kg ham portion
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 whole cloves
Method
To prepare the ham:

1. Position the oven rack on the bottom rung of the oven and preheat the oven to 165°C (145°C fan).
2. Set the roasting rack in the Curtis Stone Every Day Turkey Roaster. Remove the skin from the ham, leaving the fat intact. Run a small dull knife over the fat to lightly score it all over. Place the ham on the rack in the roasting pan, cover, and bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 30°C.
3. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the honey, pineapple juice, and whole cloves and bring the mixture to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat. Brush some of the honey glaze all over the ham. Continue to bake, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, brushing the ham with the honey glaze every 10 minutes. The liquid should form a glaze over the ham and the ham should register at least 48ºC on the thermometer. Transfer the ham to a carving board and let it rest for 10 minutes.

To serve:

1. Carve the ham and arrange the slices on a platter. Serve hot or warm.

And for the little ones.....

Primavera Pasta with Ham

Serves: 2-3 kids

Prep Time: 15 minutes          

Cook Time: 20 minutes 

Make-Ahead: The macaroni can be cooked 1 day ahead, drained, cooled, covered and refrigerated.

Ingredients

110g of your child's favorite pasta shape (such as elbow macaroni)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large carrot (about 100g), peeled, diced
60g torn bite-size pieces of Baked Ham with Pineapple-Honey Glaze
6 asparagus stalks (about 100g total), trimmed, cut into small bite-size pieces
85g baby spinach, stemmed
60g unsalted butter
25g (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
Method

1. Add the pasta to a pot of boiling salted water over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water.
2. In a large heavy frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the carrot and cook for 2 minutes, or until the carrot pieces begin to soften. Add the ham and asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in the pasta and the spinach and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and the liquid simmers.
3. Remove the frying pan from the heat. Add the butter and 2 teaspoons of the pasta water and stir until the butter melts and forms a sauce to coat the pasta. Fold in the cheese. Season to taste with salt.
4. Transfer the pasta to 3 serving bowls and serve.
