Brown Sugar and Pineapple Glazed Ham
The pineapple glaze for ham has been a time-honored holiday custom in our home for many years. Any surplus ham tastes equally delightful when paired with extra fresh pineapple.
Ingredients
- 1 (6 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham, cut side down, into a roasting pan.
- Cut skin off pineapple with a sharp knife and slice off any brown spots or skin left behind. Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rings and use a round cutter to remove cores. Pin rings onto ham with toothpicks.
- Bake ham in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While ham bakes, mix pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power until glaze is boiling and slightly thickened. Work carefully because glaze will be sticky and very hot.
- Pour 1/2 of the glaze evenly over ham and pineapple rings. Bake ham for 30 minutes more, then pour remaining glaze over ham.
- Continue baking ham until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 30 to 60 minutes more.
- Enjoy!
