Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham
This Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham is sweet, savory, and full of juicy flavor! It’s the perfect centerpiece for any holiday meal or special occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 Bone-In Spiral Ham Pre-Cooked
- 1 Can Pineapple Slices With Juice
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the packaging from the ham and place it in a large oven-safe dish. Arrange the pineapple slices between the layers of ham.
- Pour the pineapple juice over the ham. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the ham and pineapple slices, adjusting the amount for your preferred sweetness.
- Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake for 1.5 hours, or until heated through. Baste the ham with its juices occasionally to keep it moist.
- If your ham has a glaze packet, mix it with a little pineapple juice and brush it over the ham in the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Once done, remove from the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve with the pineapple slices.
Notes
Check Temperature: The ham should reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for optimal serving.
Use Fresh Pineapple: For a fresher flavor, substitute canned pineapple with fresh slices and juice.
Prevent Dryness: Baste the ham every 20-30 minutes with the juices to keep it moist.
Foil is Key: Covering the ham tightly ensures it stays juicy and prevents it from drying out.
