Now let’s dive into what you need to get this party started:
Ingredients:
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 to 7 pounds)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 can sliced pineapple in juice (with the juice)
- Whole cloves (optional, for decoration)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This will get your kitchen smelling real nice.
- Next, it’s time to prep that ham! Place the ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan. To make it fancy, you can score the surface in a diamond pattern, and if you’re feeling it, stud it with cloves.
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, and Dijon mustard, stirring until it comes together. This mix is gonna be the glaze that takes your ham to the next level!
- Pour the glaze all over the ham, making sure every inch is coated. Then, layer those beautiful pineapple slices over top and secure them with toothpicks if needed.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the drippings. You want that ham juicy and full of flavor!
- When it’s got about 30 minutes left, remove the foil so it can caramelize and get that beautiful golden glaze. Let it get that shine while your house fills with that heavenly aroma!
- Once out of the oven, let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve it up with those pineapple rings, and don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a little pop!
This Baked Ham With Pineapple is not just food; it’s a celebration of flavor and togetherness. Serve it with your favorite sides, and enjoy a meal that brings everyone to the table. Dig in, y’all!
