Ingredients List

• 1 (6 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham

• 1 fresh pineapple

• 2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice

• 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Start by gathering all your ingredients.

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Position the ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan.

Remove the skin from the pineapple using a sharp knife, trimming off any brown spots. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch rings and use a round cutter to remove the cores. Attach the rings to the ham with toothpicks.

While the ham is baking, combine pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium power until the glaze begins to boil and thicken slightly. Be cautious, as the glaze will be very hot and sticky.

Pour half of the glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple rings. Continue baking for 30 more minutes, then pour the remaining glaze over the ham.

Enjoy your delicious ham!
