To make the apple cider mayonnaise, place apple cider in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Bring to the boil.
Cook for 5 minutes or until cider reduces to 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Place reduced cider, egg yolk, mustard and vinegar in the bowl of a small food processor and process until pale and creamy.
With the motor running, gradually add oil in a thin, steady stream until incorporated. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat barbecue grill to high. Cook ham steaks on barbecue for 2 minutes each side or until lightly charred.
Transfer to a plate. Add pineapple to barbecue and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until caramelised. Remove from heat.
Lightly heat the cut-side of bread rolls until lightly toasted and slightly golden.
Place spinach leaves, ham and pineapple on toasted buns. Top with a dollop of cider mayonnaise. Sprinkle with coriander and chilli.
Serve immediately.
