Baked Ham with Pineapple Glaze - Garnishes and Dreams

Baked Ham with Pineapple Glaze

The ultimate holiday centerpiece. A juicy baked ham glazed with brown sugar and adorned with beautiful pineapple rings.

Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! No holiday table is complete without a beautifully glazed ham. The tradition of pinning pineapple to the outside of the ham is iconic, but canned pineapple rings are often soggy and fall apart. Our dehydrated pineapple slices provide a sturdy, intense, and gorgeous alternative.

Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 2 Hours

  • Servings: 10-12

  • Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

  • 1 Bone-in fully cooked ham (8-10 lbs)

  • 1 cup Brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • Whole cloves (for pinning)

  • GND Pineapple Half Slices

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.

  2. Glaze: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and Dijon mustard into a thick paste. Rub this glaze all over the ham.

  3. Decorate: Using the whole cloves as pins, attach GND Pineapple Half Slices in a beautiful pattern all over the outside of the ham.

  4. Bake: Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until the ham is heated through and the glaze is caramelized.

  5. Serve: Present whole on a platter before carving.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: GND Pineapple Half Slices are sturdy enough to be pinned to a ham without tearing. As the ham bakes, they absorb the brown sugar glaze and pork juices, rehydrating into intense, sweet, savory, and chewy bites that are absolutely addictive. 👉 Shop GND Pineapple Half Slices
