Brown Sugar Glazed Ham with Pineapple Rings

A retro holiday centerpiece that still wins the table: a smoked ham brushed with a brown sugar, mustard and pineapple juice glaze, then decorated with pineapple rings and bright cherries. The edges turn sticky and caramelized while the meat stays juicy and gently sweet.

Method 6 steps

  1. Heat the oven to 325 F. Set the ham cut side down in a roasting pan, add 1 cup water to the pan and cover loosely with foil.

  2. Bake for about 1 1/4 hours, until the center reaches 120 F on an instant-read thermometer.

  3. Meanwhile simmer 1/2 cup pineapple juice with the brown sugar, mustard, honey and cloves for 5 minutes, until syrupy.

  4. Remove the foil and brush the ham generously with glaze. Arrange pineapple rings over the surface and set a cherry in the center of each, securing with toothpicks.

  5. Raise the oven to 400 F and bake uncovered for 25 to 35 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling and deep amber and the ham reaches 140 F.

  6. Rest the ham for 15 minutes, remove the toothpicks and carve into slices, spooning pan glaze over the top.
