Rub ham with one cup jerk seasoning. Place ham in a roasting pan and roast for 25 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, 1/8 teaspoon jerk seasoning and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add fresh pineapple chunks. Remove the ham from the oven. Use a pastry brush to glaze the ham with half of the pineapple juice mixture. Roast for 20 more minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 140 degrees. Brush ham with remaining pineapple juice mixture.
The Marble Method Tender Belly hogs are raised in a crate-free environment until they are mature, which offers the marbling results pork fans desire. From top to bottom, the whole hog is processed to sell and prepared with a variety of spices to create Tender Belly’s signature flavors.
