A Chipotle Pineapple Ham inspired in mom’s Jamón Virginia recipe is our suggestion for upcoming Easter feast. Here in the United States ham is a very common dish for Christmas and for Easter brunch. There are many ways to prepare it. Famous recipes include glazes that go from honey bourbon to brown sugar, a Southern cuisine staple. But the classic is the ham glazed with pineapple slices, cherries and a delectable brown sugar glaze.

My family is from Chihuahua, and being a border state many American traditions have permeated our menu. Glazed ham is one of those dishes added to the family table. Everyone was very happy every time this dish was served as it is sweet and savory. A kid favorite too!

Inspired on those memories and flavor profiles we made a tasty Chipotle Pineapple Ham. Using fresh golden pineapple slices, pineapple juice, smoked chipotle powder, latin spices and turbinado sugar. All combined to make a very sweet and spicy glaze to dress and bake the ham.

If you have never baked a ham, don’t be afraid, it is the easiest meal you’ll ever craft. Hams are sold smoked and fully cooked. There is no worries that the meat will be dry because the glaze will provide the needed moisture.
