Ingredients
– 1 fully cooked ham (4-6 lbs)
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1 tsp ground cloves (optional)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Roasting pan
– Aluminum foil
– Basting brush
– Sharp knife
– Serving platter
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). While the oven warms up, carefully place the ham in your roasting pan, flat side down. This not only provides stability but ensures that the juices flow evenly throughout the ham while it cooks. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and Dijon mustard to create a sweet-tart glaze. I love how simple this step is! Spread this mixture all over the ham, making sure to cover every nook and cranny. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
