Recipe View Prepare the Ham (Overnight): Trim any excess fat from the ham's surface. Place the ham, cut-side down, in a large roasting pan. Pour milk into the pan to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch. Generously pack the entire ham with brown sugar, ensuring an even coating. Top the brown sugar with a thick layer of crushed pineapple, pressing it gently to adhere. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.

Recipe View Baste and Continue Roasting (30 minutes): Remove the aluminum foil and baste the ham thoroughly with the accumulated pan juices. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and continue roasting for another 30 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the pan juices before basting.
Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple very well to prevent the glaze from becoming too watery.
If the ham starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the final roasting period.
