Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8-10 lbs)
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- Whole cloves (optional, for studding)
- Fresh pineapple rings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and optionally stud with whole cloves.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and tent with foil.
- Bake the ham for about 15-18 minutes per pound, or until heated through.
- While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze by combining pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- During the last 30 minutes of baking, brush the glaze over the ham every 10 minutes.
- Arrange pineapple slices and fresh pineapple rings on the ham when glazing the final time.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

For an extra flavorful twist, add a splash of bourbon to the glaze or serve with a side of roasted vegetables.
