Recipe ingredients
Chicken broth. The Ninja Speedi uses steam to cook food and requires a bit of water to create the steam. Using chicken broth instead of plain water infuses the meat with even more savory flavor.
Pineapple juice. Use the pure juice from the can, not a bottle of pineapple juice beverage. You can also drain and use the juice from cans of pineapple rings or chunks, and then serve the cooked ham with the pineapple!
Brown sugar. The cooked sugar creates a beautiful golden brown caramelization on the outside of the ham.
Ham. A small-to-medium-sized ham that weights 2-3 pounds will feed approximately 6-8 people. But keep the smoked ham under 9x9x5 inches to fit in the Speedi.
What to serve with ham
Ham and pineapple is a popular savory-and-sweet combination used in Hawaiian cooking. Serve this glazed ham with more Hawaiian-style dishes like fluffy white rice, macaroni salad, and grilled pineapple.
