I have a similar recipe that I've used for years. I use 3/4 C white and 3/4 C brown sugar and an entire 9 oz pkg of red hots. This makes enough syrup to do 5 lbs of apples. The recipe calls for 3 lbs, but I have done 5 lbs. You may have to do it in 2 to 3 batches depending on the size of your pan. Start with aprox half of your apple slices and remove when tender with a slotted spoon. Place remaining apple slices into syrup and cook till tender. These are delicious! I have many requests for them at holiday time. They go great with ham, but are good with turkey as well. Enjoy!

Great cake! I used to make this years ago, but lost my recipe. I made this for dessert on easter and it was very good! I do remember it being more moist though when I used to make it. I think I cooked the pineapple to long because it didn't seem syrupy to me after the specified time. In doing this I think to much of the juice cooked away, thus the cake was not as moist. My fault. It was still delicious though. A keeper. I think next time I will try pineapple cake mix and coconut pudding...Yum!

This is a wonderful glaze! I have another glaze recipe from this site that I've been using, but it's just been replaced! Love the contrast of the sweet and tangy flavors. The orange zest gives a wonderful flavor. I had a 6 lb ham, but made the amount of glaze as written.After scoring the ham, I placed pineapple rings and merichino cherries on top of the ham and fastened them in place with whole cloves and brushed with the glaze prior to putting it in the oven. I covered it with a foil tent and brushed on more glaze every 20 min untill the thermometer read 160. I then removed the foil and set the oven to broil for 5 min. This browned the ham and candied the glaze. It looked beautiful and tasted great!! Highly recomended. Thanks so much for the great recipe.
