Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 9-10 lbs Spiral Ham Choose a fully cooked ham for a tender and flavorful result.
For the Glaze
  • 2 cups 100% Pineapple Juice Fresh juice can be substituted for a fresher taste.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Provides natural sweetness; maple syrup can be an alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Feel free to omit for less sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Stone Ground Mustard Can be replaced with Dijon mustard for a different flavor.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Dish
  • aluminum foil
  • Saucepan
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your baking dish and foil.
  2. Place the spiral ham into a large baking dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for about 10-12 minutes per pound, until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in two cups of 100% pineapple juice. Simmer until it reduces to half its volume (about 25 minutes).
  4. Add 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of stone ground mustard to the reduced juice. Stir and cook for 5-8 minutes until syrup-like consistency.
  5. 20 minutes before the ham is done, remove the foil and brush the glaze over the ham. Cook uncovered.
  6. Bake for an additional 20 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and the glaze becomes sticky.
  7. Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
