Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brown Sugar Pineapple Glazed Ham.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) while you prepare the star of the show: the ham.
Step 3
Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan, creating a perfect base for all those delicious flavors to come.
Step 4
Next, let’s bring some tropical flair to our dish by preparing the pineapple.
Step 5
Carefully remove the skin with a sharp knife, trimming away any brown spots to reveal the juicy fruit underneath.
Step 6
Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rings, and use a round cutter to remove the cores.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add a fun touch—secure those pineapple rings onto the ham with toothpicks, creating a beautiful presentation that will impress your guests.
Step 8
Pop the ham into the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 9
While the ham is baking, let’s whip up a sweet glaze.
Step 10
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine pineapple juice and brown sugar, then microwave on medium power until the mixture is bubbling and slightly thickened.
Step 11
Be cautious, as the glaze will be hot and sticky! After the first 30 minutes of baking, pour half of that luscious glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple rings, then return it to the oven for another 30 minutes.
Step 12
Once that time is up, drizzle the remaining glaze over the ham, allowing it to soak in all that flavor.
Step 13
Keep baking until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140°F (60°C), which should take an additional 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 14
When the ham is perfectly cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few moments to lock in those juicy flavors.
Step 15
Now, it’s time to slice and serve your delicious ham, garnished with those beautiful pineapple rings.
Step 16
Enjoy every bite of this delightful dish that’s sure to be a hit at your table!.
