Ever tried a Carve Ham smothered in Pineapple Brown Sugar Glaze!

carve ham pineapple brown sugar glaze

I was out and about yesterday doing my grocery shopping for the holidays. The holiday season is in full swing and there were many cars and people everywhere I went.

Can you imagine what this weekend would be. A herd of people everywhere, traffic, long lines of people trying to finish up their shopping list.

Christmas is a few days away and if you haven’t decided yet what to serve, consider getting a Master Carve Ham from Costco or Sams. No fuss, no muss and you have a deliciously, easy, tender, juicy ham at the table.

What is a carve ham

A boneless ham is a carve ham. That’s all there is. The term boneless ham and carve ham are interchangeable.

The manufacturer has removed the bone which makes it easy to slice. A boneless ham is easier to carve.

Kirkland Signature Master Carve Ham is sold by Costco. To my surprise, I also found this brand at Sam’s Club too.

It is a boneless ham cut from a quality bone-in ham, smoked and cooked using a real Apple-wood. This is Fully Cooked, Ready to Eat, Easy to Carve Ham from End to End and comes with its Natural Juices.

Each half ham is package and randomly weighs between 3.5 to 4.5 pounds. A 4.5 pound ham can easily serve 10 people.

This Carve Ham doesn’t come with glaze. You have to make your own glaze.

I just made a Filipino Pork Hamonado and I have leftover pineapple juice. See nothing goes to waste when I cook.

I wonderfully glazed the outer area of ham with a delectable Pineapple Brown Sugar glaze.

What part is the carve ham

It is the pigs butt-end that is closer to the bone which is tender and tastier.

This ham is leaner than a Spiral Sliced Ham but it has a fatty section too. Your family and guest can select which part they prefer plus it is easier to slice from end to end.

What glaze to use with carve ham

Some carve ham comes with a pre-mix glaze already. While some don’t.

My go-to glazing is the Pineapple Brown Sugar glaze that adds a subtle sweetness to this tender juicy ham. Glazing the ham is easy peasy.

How to glaze carve ham

After warming in the oven, pour some liquid from pan over ham then evenly spread the remaining brown sugar.

Broil until brown sugar melts. This is a quick process and it is best if you stay next to your oven.

Once brown sugar melts, it can burn easily.

When done, remove from oven and cover loosely with foil so it doesn't touch the glaze.

Set aside until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F before slicing. Enjoy!

Storing leftover carve ham

Leftover will keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days in a well sealed container.

Portion leftover and place it in the freezer for about a month. It is best to portion so you take only what you need.

Ingredients

  • 1 4.5 pounds Kirkland Signature Master Carve Ham
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Read Carve Ham Warming Instructions.
  • In a small pot, combine ¾ cup of the brown sugar and pineapple juice. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat.
  • Heat oven to 350 degree F. Remove ham from packaging and place flat side down in a 2 inch deep baking pan, fat side UP. 
  • Pour pineapple juice mixture over ham. Cover ham tightly with aluminum foil to help retain moisture.
  • Bake approximately 10 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 130 deg F.
  • Remove ham from oven. Pour some liquid from pan over ham. Then spread evenly the remaining brown sugar.
  • Broil until brown sugar starts to melt. Don’t burn.
  • Remove ham from oven. Again cover loosely with foil not touching the glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140 degree F before slicing to serve.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within two hours. Once opened use within 3 to 5 days or you may freeze in an air tight container for a month.

Notes

  1. You may add pineapple chunks when you put the ham in the oven or use it as a garnish.
  2. For a much tastier slice of ham fry it with a teaspoon to 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Glaze will burn easily so be next to the stove.
