For an extra smoky flavor, consider using smoked ham.
If the glaze starts to get too thick during the final baking stage, add a tablespoon or two of pineapple juice to thin it out.

Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.

    The pineapple rings looked so pretty on the ham. It was a real showstopper on our holiday table.

    Next time, I might try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze for a little extra warmth.

    This was the best ham I've ever made! The glaze was so flavorful and the ham was incredibly moist.
