Glazed Ham With Pineapple Recipe

This recipe creates a mouthwatering glazed ham with juicy pineapple rings and sweet maraschino cherries. Perfect for holidays or special occasions, this recipe is adaptable to both bone-in (approx. 14 lbs) and boneless (7-8 lbs) hams. The bone in a 14 lb ham accounts for about 4 lbs of weight, yielding roughly the same amount of meat as a boneless ham. Feel free to adjust the amount of pineapple and cherries to your liking for a truly customized glaze. Don't forget to baste frequently for an extra-delicious, tender result! The flavorful pineapple basting sauce can even be prepped a day ahead!

How to Make Glazed Ham With Pineapple

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the pineapple glaze (see recipe below). If making ahead, reheat gently before using.
  3. Place ham in a roasting pan. Score the ham's fat (optional, for better glaze penetration).
  4. Pour 1/2 of the pineapple glaze over the ham, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes. Then, begin basting the ham every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze, rotating the ham halfway through.
  6. Check the internal temperature of the ham with a meat thermometer. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for a boneless ham and 150°F (66°C) for a bone-in ham. Adjust cooking time as needed based on the ham's weight and type.
  7. Once the ham reaches the desired temperature, remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  8. Garnish with extra pineapple rings and maraschino cherries, if desired.
