A ham covered in a shiny brown sugar glaze surrounded by pineapple slices.

Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham

There’s nothing quite like the scent of ham roasting with brown sugar and pineapple to bring back memories of Southern family gatherings. Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham is a favorite in my family, and we make it every holiday season, filling the house with sweet and savory aromas.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bone-in spiral ham pre-cooked
  • 1 can pineapple slices with juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F.
  • Remove all packaging from the pre-cooked ham, then place it in an oven-safe casserole dish.
  • Open the pineapple can and arrange the slices between the layers of the ham. Pour the juice from the can over the ham to add moisture and flavor.
  • Rub the brown sugar evenly over the ham and pineapple slices, ensuring it coats well. You can adjust the brown sugar if you like it sweeter or less sweet.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture, and place it in the oven. Let it bake for about 1.5 hours, or until the ham is heated through and the flavors are well melded.
  • Check the ham periodically and baste it with the juices from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • If your ham comes with a glaze packet, mix it with a few tablespoons of pineapple juice and glaze it for added flavor.
  • Slice the ham, arrange it on a serving platter with the pineapple, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add extra brown sugar if you prefer a sweeter glaze.
  • You can substitute crushed pineapple if slices are unavailable.
  • This recipe also works in a slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours.
