Grilled Ham and Pineapple with Basting Sauce
1 Ham Steak
1 can Pineapple Slices (rings)
2 tsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Brown Mustard
2 – 4 drops hot sauce
Use a can opener and pop 2 holes in the can of pineapple, drain thoroughly into 5” Dutch oven and place inside grill. Bring pineapple juice to a low simmer, add brown sugar, mustard and hot sauce. Stir until ingredients are completely dissolved. Reduce liquid by half making a simple syrup. Open ham steak package and can of pineapple. Place on grill over medium heat and baste with sauce. Cook long enough to warm through and achieve those wonderful grill marks. Baste as much as needed to keep ham and pineapple moist.
The sweet potato was grilled along with the ham and pineapples. Cut the sweet potato in half length wise. Brush the cut side with a small amount of olive oil. Take a small amount of brown sugar, pinch of cinnamon, pinch of salt. Mix and apply to the sweet potato. Grill cut side down till brown. Move the potato away from the heat and cook indirectly till done, about an hour.
My kids go wild over grilled pineapple. This will taste like the big hams many mothers would cook all day in the oven without all the hassle.
Yum!
