Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz can crushed pineapple
  • 3/4 pound fully-cooked boneless smoked ham
  • 3/4 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions

Drain pineapple, reserving juice.

Coarsely chop the ham. Place ham in food processor bowl; process about 30 seconds or until coarsely ground. In a mixing bowl combine the pineapple, ground ham, ground pork, green pepper, flour and allspice. Shape into six 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place patties on an unheated rack in a broiler pan. Broil 6 inches from heat about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan cook pineapple juice over medium heat until reduced by half. Brush the patties with half of the pineapple juice; turn and broil 6 minutes longer, until an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Brush patties with the remaining pineapple juice.

Serves 6

Could also grill these burgers over direct heat for about 7 to 9 minutes per side, until an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
