PINEAPPLE BALSAMIC GLAZED HAM

Cook time 15 minutes
Meal type Condiment, Dessert
Occasion Barbecue, Casual Party, Christmas, Easter
By author EVOO Mike

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pineapple Barrel Aged White Balsamic (EVOO Marketplace)
  • 10lb Spiral Ham
  • 1lb Fresh Pineapple (Cored & Cubed)

Directions

Step 1
Place 1 cup Pineapple balsamic in a medium sized saute pan.
Step 2
Reduce over medium to medium-high heat for approximately 7-10 minutes with constant stirring. Note: balsamic will bubble and foam as it reduces. We recommend using overhead fan ventilation as the vinegar fumes can be strong. The goal of this step is to reduce the balsamic ~80% of the desired consistency. The remaining reduction will be done in the next step.
Step 3
Pour hot reduction sauce into a glass bowl and set on top of a larger bowl containing ice. Stir until balsamic cools. As balsamic cools it will reduce to a slightly thick syrup. This is a traditional balsamic glaze perfect for anything, even on top of ice-cream!
Step 4
Bake ham according to preparation instructions.
Step 5
During the last 20-30 minutes pull ham out of oven and glaze with Pineapple balsamic reduction. Place pineapple chunks around ham and return to oven for the remainder of baking time.

Note

Any left over Pineapple balsamic reduction can be served over ice-cream

BALSAMIC REDUCTION METHOD

Balsamic Reduction Method

Print recipe
Prep time 5 minutes
Meal type Condiment
By author EVOO Marketplace

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Aged Italian Balsamic (EVOO Marketplace)

Directions

Step 1
In a medium sauce pan add balsamic and heat over medium to medium-high heat with continuous stirring. Note: the goal here is to reduce the balsamic to a consistency just thinner than desired thickness. A 1/4 cup in a medium sauce pan will reduce within 3-5 minutes. It is normal for the balsamic to foam and bubble as it reduces.
Step 2
Immediately pour hot balsamic into a glass bowl and place over another larger bowl containing ice. Stir continuously until balsamic cools, 3-5 minutes. As the balsamic cools you will notice it thicken significantly.

Note

When performing a balsamic reduction you really want to start with the "good stuff" such as what we offer at EVOO Marketplace.  The majority of "Balsamic Vinegars" sold in the grocery store and other imposter shops are nothing more than red wine vinegar, sodium, corn syrup and/or molasses.  If you attempt to reduce these the awful aftertaste will only be amplified.

A true balsamic reduction as described in this method is perfect as a glaze for various meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, or drizzled over your favorite ice cream.
