Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pineapple Brown Sugar Ham Glaze.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
Nestle the ham, cut-side down, into a roasting pan, and secure the delightful pineapple rings onto the ham with toothpicks for a tropical touch.
Step 3
As the ham bakes for 30 minutes, whisk together pineapple juice and 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar in a saucepan.
Step 4
Bring this sweet concoction to a gentle boil, allowing it to thicken slightly for about 5 minutes before removing it from the heat to keep warm.
Step 5
Once the initial baking time is up, generously pour some of the luscious glaze over the ham and return it to the oven for another 30 minutes.
Step 6
Next, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the ham, followed by a drizzle of more glaze.
Step 7
Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 140°F (60°C), which should take about 30 additional minutes.
Step 8
Finally, as you remove the ham from the oven, lavish any remaining glaze over the top, transforming your dish into a stunning centerpiece ready to impress at your table.
Step 9
Enjoy the sweet aroma and the delightful flavors that will surely make this ham a memorable feast.
