Ham:

Fully Cooked Boneless Ham: Has the perfect salty, smokey flavor that is enhanced by the sweet, tangy spiced glaze. Brown Sugar: Adds a sweet flavor and helps the glaze caramelize on the crust of the ham. Spices: The myriad of spices, including Coriander, Cinnamon, Cumin, Allspice, and Pepper, provide a complex flavor that includes warmth, earthiness, and spice. Can Pineapple Rings: Go on the outside of the ham, providing juice and a bright, tangy flavor. Maraschino Cherries: Beautifully bright red contrasted with the yellow pineapple, giving the ham a sweet flavor and classic holiday look. Toothpicks: Keep the pineapple and cherries in place.

Pineapple Glaze:

Pineapple Juice: Gives the glaze a sweet, tangy tropical flavor and keeps the ham juicy. Brown Sugar: Provides sweetness and creates the caramel glaze. Dijon Mustard: Gives the glaze a bright, sharp flavor and adds complexity. Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a unique umami flavor that balances the tang and sweetness.

How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

Making this ham might look complex, but trust me, it’s super easy. The oven does most of the work! You will want to make brown sugar pineapple glazed ham more than just on holidays or special occasions.

Fridge or Freezer: Carve the whole ham into slices and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Carve: I like to carve the ham while fresh because it makes it easier to store, and I can pull out single servings to reheat. Reuse: You can use the leftover ham to make so many delicious recipes.
