• Spiral Ham
• 4-5 Whole Cloves
• 1/4 c. Pineapple Juice
• 4 oz. Gingerale
• 4 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
Sweet Pineapple Brown Sugar Gravy
• 2 Tbsp. Butter
• 2 Tbsp. Super-Fine flour (Wondra)
• 3/4 c. Brown Sugar
• 1 can Crushed Pineapple with juice
• 2 oz. Ginger Ale
Place the spiral ham in a large roasting pan. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spike the
ham with the cloves. Mix together the pineapple juice and ginger ale and pour 1/2 of it
over the ham. Pat the brown sugar on the ham, pressing to crust the brown sugar on the
ham. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes per pound. While it is
cooking, baste the ham with the remainder of the pineapple juice-gingerale mix.
While the ham is baking, make the glaze. Pour the pineapple juice and ginger ale
into a heat-proof bowl, and microwave for about 45 seconds. In a medium saucepan,
melt the butter and mix with the flour to make a roux. Stir the juice mixture into the
roux, whisking briskly to stir out the lumps. Turn the heat up to medium high. Stir in the
brown sugar, and heat to boiling. Allow to boil 3-4 minutes, until the mixture starts to
thicken. Turn to low and simmer about five minutes until thickened. Although it is
ca11ed a glaze, it is more like a gravy.
