Brown Sugar and Pineapple Glazed Ham

Yes, you can prepare the ham and glaze it the night before. Store it covered in the fridge and bake before serving for best results.

Bone-in ham provides better flavor and moisture, but boneless works too—just reduce the cook time accordingly.

Absolutely! Use fresh pineapple rings and add extra pineapple juice or water to replace the liquid from the can.

Mix brown sugar, honey, mustard, cloves, and pineapple juice. Score the ham, spread the glaze over it, and top with pineapple slices. Bake while basting with pan juices for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Pineapple adds a sweet, tangy flavor and its natural enzymes help tenderize the ham, enhancing texture and taste.

Apply brown sugar glaze before baking and again midway through cooking. For a caramelized finish, baste the ham with glaze and uncover it for the final 30 minutes.

You glaze it before cooking and optionally reapply during baking. For extra shine and depth, add a final glaze layer 10–15 minutes before removing from the oven.
