Delicious Pineapple Glazed Ham Recipe for Your Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 whole bone-in ham (preferably fully cooked)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup pineapple slices (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for added flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for depth of flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ham

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan.

    Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern for better glaze absorption.
  2. Make the Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, and optional spices. Heat until sugar dissolves.

    Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Glaze the Ham

    Brush the glaze generously over the ham, making sure to cover all surfaces.

    Use a basting brush for an even coating.
  4. Bake the Ham

    Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and baste with glaze every 20 minutes.

    Bake until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  5. Add Pineapple Slices

    In the last 20 minutes of baking, add pineapple slices on top of the ham.

    Secure with toothpicks for presentation.
  6. Serve

    Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

    This allows the juices to redistribute for a moist ham.
