The Secret Ingredient: Apples
Why Apples?
While pineapple is known for its sweetness, apples bring a different level of flavor to the table. Just like pineapple, apples are a fruit that pairs perfectly with ham. The natural sweetness of the apples complements the savory and smoky flavors of the ham, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Apples are also a fall favorite and a staple in many Thanksgiving dishes, making them a fitting choice for your holiday ham. Plus, apples are easy to find and come in a variety of types, giving you the freedom to choose the flavor profile you prefer.
The Recipe
Now that you know the secret ingredient, it's time to share the recipe. Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, take a spiral-cut ham and place it in a large baking dish. Take a sharp knife and make shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern on the top of the ham.
For the glaze, combine apple cider, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then, add in apple cider vinegar, apple butter, and ground cinnamon, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Pour the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the cuts on the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and baste the ham with the glaze. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
For the final touch, take apple slices and place them on top of the ham. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the ham is fully cooked and the glaze is caramelized.
The Result
The end result is a succulent and flavorful apple-glazed ham that will be the star of your Thanksgiving feast. The apples add a hint of sweetness and a touch of fall to the dish, making it a perfect alternative to the traditional pineapple-glazed ham.
By using apples instead of pineapple in your Thanksgiving ham recipe, you can create a unique and delicious dish that will impress your guests and leave them asking for the recipe. Give it a try this holiday season and see for yourself why apples make the perfect substitute for pineapple in this Thanksgiving classic.
