Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in spiral ham pre-cooked
  • 1 can pineapple slices with juice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350℉.
  • Remove the packaging from the pre-cooked ham and place it in an oven safe casserole dish.
  • Open the can of pineapple slices and place the slices between the slices of ham. Then, pour the juice from the can over it. Rub the brown sugar evenly over the pineapple slices and ham. You can adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • Cover the ham with aluminum foil and let it cook for 1.5 hours in the oven. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the ham. You want the ham to heat through and the flavors to meld.
  • Check the ham periodically. You can baste it with the juices that collect in the dish to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
  • Optional: Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to let the sugar caramelize.
  • If using a glaze packet, mix it with a few tablespoons of pineapple juice, brush over the ham, and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the ham and serve it with the pineapple slices.
