Pineapple Glazed Ham
Description
The Pineapple Glazed Ham recipe starts with a fully cooked ham that is scored diagonally to allow the glaze to penetrate the surface. It is brushed with Dijon mustard and baked covered to retain moisture. The glaze, made by mixing pineapple juice from canned rings with brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves, adds a sweet and slightly spicy flavor that cooks into the ham's exterior. Pineapple rings are secured on top, optionally adorned with maraschino cherries, which add a fruity sweetness and visual appeal. Baking uncovered in the final stages caramelizes the glaze and achieves a slightly sticky crust. Resting the ham before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender, flavorful slices. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to eight days, making this suitable for holiday dinners and gatherings where portions may be served over several days.
Ingredients
- 1 ham about 6 pounds, fully cooked
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 8 maraschino cherries optional
Pineapple Glaze
- 1 can pineapple with juices, rings
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Diagonally score the ham with a sharp knife. Place ham in a casserole dish.
- To make the glaze, whisk 3 tablespoons of the juice from the pineapple with brown sugar, dijon, and cloves. Set aside.
- Brush ham with dijon mustard and pour remaining pineapple juice over ham. Cover with foil and cook 80 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush with pineapple glaze. Place pineapple rings over ham and secure with toothpicks (add a ½ maraschino cherry to the center of each if desired.)
- Bake uncovered 25-35 minutes or just until ham reaches 140°F. Do not overcook.
- Remove ham from the oven and let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 days to maintain freshness.
