- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 Ham ((fully cooked))
- Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Combine the ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, crushed pineapple, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Prepare the ham
Place the fully cooked ham in the oven-safe roasting pan, and score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, creating a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham.
Using a basting brush, generously brush the prepared glaze mixture over the scored ham, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.
- Cook
Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake until crispy or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
- Remove and rest
Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier ham.
- Plate up
Slice the ham and serve it with the remaining glaze as a sauce on the side.
- Finish
Enjoy your delicious ham glaze with brown sugar and pineapple!
