With Easter fast approching, I wanted to share one of my favorite ham recipes. It’s delicious and easy enough to make anytime, not just for the holidays. Juicy pineapple, with a glaze that adds just enough sweetness, while remaining savory are what make it so special. I also add something that most people wouldn’t think to add, garlic. It gives it that extra little kick that takes the taste to that “Wow” factor. Try it and you’ll see what I mean.
Pineapple Glazed Ham
Ingredients
- 1 - 4 lb smoked ham
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 - 20 oz can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained, reserve juice
Directions
- Take the reserved pineapple juice, and combine with ginger and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer about 15 minutes, reducing the liquid by half. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the ham into thick slices and set in a shallow baking pan. Brush the mustard over the ham slices, then sprinkle evenly with the coconut sugar and cloves.
- Place pineapple chunks on top of the ham, then pour the reduced pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan.
- Place in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20 - 25 minutes.
- Remove ham from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve.

It does taste great Susie, but I love it the most because it's so easy to make. :)
I love that you added garlic to this. Adding garlic to anything can only be an improvement. This makes me remember those Easter hams of childhood.
That's exactly where I got my idea for this recipe, from the ones my Mom made in my childhood. Good memories.
This looks great! I will keep this in mind for Easter! Thanks for stopping by at my link-up!
