A beautifully baked ham topped with caramelized pineapple rings and a sweet brown sugar glaze, perfect for holiday feasts and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 spiral sliced ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup pineapple rings
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C), filling your kitchen with anticipation.
- Place the spiral sliced ham in a generously sized roasting pan, ensuring it has room to shine.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk until well blended and glossy.
- Pour the delightful glaze over the ham, making sure to work it into the slices for maximum flavor.
- Arrange the charming pineapple rings across the top of the ham, creating a picture-perfect presentation.
- Cover the ham with aluminum foil, trapping in moisture, and bake for about 90 to 120 minutes, basting occasionally with the fragrant glaze.
- For the last 30 minutes, remove the foil to let that lovely glaze caramelize and develop a stunning sheen.
- Once the internal temperature reads 140°F (60°C), remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Consider preparing the glaze one day in advance for intensified flavors. Don’t forget to baste the ham for moistness.
