Equipment

  • medium-sized saucepan
  • oven
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
  

For the Pineapple Ham Glaze

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed, light brown sugar is a good substitute
  • 12 oz cola or Dr. Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Spiral Ham

  • 1 6-9 lbs spiral-sliced city ham
  • 20 oz crushed pineapple (1 large can)

Instructions
 

For the Pineapple Ham Glaze

  • Combine all glaze ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 20-30 minutes, or until glaze is the consistency of syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the Brown Sugar Pineapple Spiral Ham

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham with ½-inch-deep slices spaced 1 inch apart. Cover and bake for 1 hour.
  • Brush half the glaze over the ham, being sure to spread some down into each cut. Spread the crushed pineapple over the ham, again pressing down, and then pour half the remaining glaze over the surface. Bake the ham, uncovered, 15 minutes then repeat glazing as follows.
  • Continue cooking and glazing/basting the ham every 10 minutes until the internal temperature registers 140° on an instant-read thermometer. This could take a total 40-60 minutes.

Notes

You must use canned or cooked pineapple for this recipe. Fresh pineapple contains enzymes that will turn your ham to mush!
