Ham and pineapple go remarkably well together, and this recipe for Pineapple Glazed Ham Slices is a great example. This sweet and savory staple of a holiday table is always a hit among adults and children alike. The precooked ham slices are topped with pineapple and cherries and then shortly baked before being finished with a sweet glaze and baked again until deliciously caramelized.
This glaze makes the ham! I like to keep it simple with a combination of pineapple juice, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard for a sweet and tangy sauce. As for the mustard, go for the whole grain Dijon mustard. Not only does it improve the texture, but it also packs a flavorful punch. The recipe yields five servings and is perfect if you plan a small gathering. Serve these delicious glazed ham slices with these Cheesy Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms, or this Maple Oven-Roasted Asparagus, or these Buttery Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes for a holiday meal and enjoy!
To make the Pineapple Glazed Ham Slices, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
In a quarter sheet baking pan, place 10 ham slices in two rows, slightly overlapping.
Top each ham slice with one pineapple slice, reserving 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice from the can. Add a cherry in the middle of each pineapple slice.
Bake the ham in the oven for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of reserved pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon mustard and stir to combine well.
Remove the ham from the oven and evenly brush with the prepared glaze.
Return the ham to the oven and bake until the glaze caramelizes and turns golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Serve immediately with a side of choice and enjoy!
