Ingredients and Variations

HAM The star of this delicious dish is a fully cooked 6-pound ham. If your ham is not fully cooked it will require extra cook time (follow the directions on your package).

PINEAPPLE  A can of pineapple rings is really easy to use, they’re thick and delicious. If you prefer, use fresh pineapple and cut it into rings. If you only have pineapple chunks, those work too but you’ll need to use a toothpick to secure each chunk.

FLAVOR A quick glaze of mustard, brown sugar, and a handful of seasonings adds flavor to the ham. For extra flavor, use your favorite ham glaze recipe.

How to Cook Pineapple Ham

  • Score a ham. Place it in a deep casserole dish. Set aside.

  • Brush ham with Dijon glaze (per the recipe below) and add pineapple juice to the baking dish.

  • Cover with foil & bake.

  • Remove ham from the oven, brush with the pineapple juice. Secure pineapple rings to the ham with toothpicks. Secure half a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple ring.

  • Bake, uncovered for another 25 to 35 minutes or just until ham reaches 140°F.

Storing

Baked ham will keep in the refrigerator for up to 8 days in an airtight container.

Freeze ham steaks in zippered bags either individually or between pieces of parchment paper. Label the bags with the date and they can stay frozen up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the microwave.
