Ingredients

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

  • 1 — fresh pineapple

  • 2 (6 ounce) cans — pineapple juice

  • 1 cup — brown sugar

Directions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham, cut-side down, into a roasting pan.
  • 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.
  • Bake ham in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Pour 1/2 of the glaze evenly over ham and pineapple rings. Bake ham for 30 minutes more, then pour remaining glaze over ham.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy!
