Pineapple-Glazed Ham

12 servings

• 1 (5-pound) cooked boneless ham
• 1 (6-ounce) can frozen pineapple juice concentrate
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

PINEAPPLE-RAISIN SAUCE

• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1¼ cups water
• ¾ cup golden raisins
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard
• ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place ham on rack in shallow roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 1½ to 2 hours, until internal temperature is 140 degrees.

In a small saucepan, combine half the juice concentrate, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 3 tablespoons vinegar and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Baste ham with glaze the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking.

Meanwhile, prepare Pineapple-Raisin Sauce: In a medium saucepan, sauté onion in butter until tender. Add remaining juice concentrate, water, raisins, ¼ cup maple syrup and mustard. Stir together ¼ up vinegar and cornstarch; stir into raisin mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.

Remove the ham from the oven; loosely cover with foil. Let stand about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with Pineapple-Raisin Sauce.
