When it comes to the holidays, we love dishes that incorporate both sweet and savory flavors without being overly heavy, and this honey-glazed ham pizza with roasted pineapple fits the bill. Often called a Christmas or Yule ham, baked ham is a time-honored way to make a standard holiday meal (or any gathering) feel extra special. Rather than make it the table’s centerpiece, we’ve opted to use pieces of moist and tender ham as a delectable pizza topping.
Fresh pineapple is also sliced and roasted alongside the ham, making the tropical fruit less sweet, chewier, and a little salty, balancing out the mix of crème fraîche, mozzarella and gouda. Add to that roasted onions and the result is a complex pizza that will please both meat lovers and sweet aficionados alike. And if you happen to have any extra fruit left over, make the adults a Fiery Pineapple Mezcal Cocktail for a fresh and spicy drink.
