Linda-I am actually not really making this myself. I am teaching my mother how to cook. She has just moved out on her own for the first time ever and is really relying on me to show her the ropes. (I know sounds strange). I am using the simplicity of the PC cookbooks to get her started. Once she realizes that all she has to do is follow a recipe then she will be fine. She lacks confidence. She will get that back once she sees that her food will look just like the picture and taste even better! Anyway---(mini hi-jack of my own thread)--- the one thing she really desires to cook is a ham.... figures it be the one thing I am clueless about! LOL

Use the Pineapple Casserole as part of a real foods real fast show.........make the Casserole (from reading it, shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to put together) and then put a Pork Tenderloin in the microwave.....make a simple salad....TA DA!!! Real Food Real Fast!!!
I think I am going to tell people about this for a great idea for the Holidays!

The Best Baked Ham in the World
Courtesy of Nolan Gilbert, Montomery, Alabama
Printed in Taste of the South Spring 2007 issue
1 (8-10 #) bone-in, shank-portion ham
2 (46 oz) cans pineapple juice (I used one pineapple and one mango-pineapple!!)
¼ cup plus 2 T. brown sugar, divided
1/3 cup honey
1 T. prepared yellow mustard (I used spicy brown mustard!)
1 ½ t. Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus Blend (This was not in the recipe, but I added it since Honeybaked Hams have something similar in their topping!)
Garnish: canned pineapple slices (I left these off, my family and I don’t eat them anyhow!)
~Place ham (skinny side down!) in a large stockpot and add enough pineapple juice to cover 2/3 of the ham. Add ¼ c. brown sugar. Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat on stovetop; cook for 15 minutes. Turn ham over and continue to boil for 15 minutes longer.
~Remove from heat and let ham cool in the juice mixture for 1 hour.
~Preheat oven to 350
~Place ham in a The Pampered Chef roasting pan using the rack (spritz with veg. oil using the Kitchen Spritzer) and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until internal temp reaches 160, or for approximately 30 minutes per pound (4 hours for an 8# ham) **I had a 10# ham so it should have taken 5 hours in the oven…it only took 2.5 hours!
~In a small sauce pan (I did mine in a prep bowl in the microwave while the ham was baking…the sugar dissolved but by the time I went to baste it onto the ham it was thick and easy to baste without running off of the ham!) combine honey, mustard, and remaining 2 T. brown sugar and bring to a boil over med-low heat on stovetop to melt sugar.
~Remove ham from oven and glaze with honey mixture using about ½ of it. Return ham to oven, uncovered, and bake for 10 minutes.
~Remove ham again and garnish with pineapple slices (using toothpicks to adhere them if necessary) Glaze ham with remaining glaze and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
~Let ham cool before slicing. (I covered mine with the foil again and let it sit on top of the stove for about an hour and it was still very warm when we ate it!)
