Recipe View Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham. Enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a splash of rum to the glaze.
If the pineapple rings start to brown too quickly, tent the ham loosely with foil during the final baking stage.
Leftover ham is fantastic in sandwiches, salads, or added to breakfast scrambles.
Use the leftover pineapple core and trimmings to make a refreshing pineapple smoothie.

    I didn't have fresh pineapple, so I used canned pineapple rings, and it worked just as well.

  • Delbert Brown

    My family loved the pineapple rings on top of the ham. It added a festive touch to our meal.

  • Jackeline Zulauf

    I added a pinch of cloves to the glaze, and it gave it a lovely warm flavor. Thanks for the tip!

  • Margarita Rippin

    This recipe is a keeper! The ham was moist and flavorful, and the glaze was out of this world.

    This recipe was a huge hit at our holiday dinner! The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

    The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll reduce the amount of brown sugar.

  • Zachariah Dietrich

    The directions were easy to follow, and the ham turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
