Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 fresh pineapple
• 1 (6 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
• 2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham, cut-side down, into a roasting pan.

Step 2

Cut skin off pineapple with a sharp knife and slice off any brown spots or skin left behind. Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rings and use a round cutter to remove cores. Pin rings onto ham with toothpicks.

Step 3

Bake ham in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While ham bakes, mix pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power until glaze is boiling and slightly thickened. Work carefully because glaze will be sticky and very hot.

Step 5

Pour 1/2 of the glaze evenly over ham and pineapple rings. Bake ham for 30 minutes more, then pour remaining glaze over ham.

Step 6

Continue baking ham until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 30 to 60 minutes more.
