Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham
This brown sugar pineapple ham is a show-stopping addition to any holiday dinner. With its sweet and tangy glaze and tender texture, it’s a dish that will have your guests raving.
Presentation Tips
To make your holiday dinner even more special, consider these presentation tips:
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Add a pop of colour by garnishing the platter with fresh rosemary or thyme. The herbs not only enhance the visual appeal but also add a subtle aroma that complements the flavours of the ham.
- Slice and Serve with Care: For the best presentation, slice the ham just before serving to keep it moist and flavorful. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter.
Choosing the Right Ham
- When selecting a ham, opt for a bone-in variety for the juiciest result. The bone helps to retain moisture during cooking, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. Additionally, bone-in ham tends to have a richer flavour, as the bone imparts its essence into the meat during cooking.
- Consider the size of the ham in relation to the number of guests you’ll be serving. An 8-10 pound ham is typically sufficient for a gathering of 10-12 people, with leftovers to spare. If you’re cooking for a smaller group, you can adjust the recipe accordingly, or enjoy the leftovers in creative ways.
Consider serving it with:
What You Will Need:
- 1 bone-in spiral ham (pre-cooked)
- 1 can pineapple slices (with juice)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Yields: 6-8 servings

Check the ham periodically. You can baste it with the juices that collect in the dish to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
If your ham came with a glaze package, you could mix this with a few tablespoons of the pineapple juice, mix it and glaze the ham with it.
