This easy to make Pineapple glazed ham is slow cooked in the oven. My mom used to places slices of pineapples in between the slices of a pre-sliced honey ham along with cloves. I love the way this ham smells up the entire house as it cooks!
A honey baked ham is super simple to make at home! I used brown sugar for this glazed ham recipe. But, feel free to substitute pure maple syrup or even honey. You’ll want to purchase a fully-cooked ham. The secret is the mixture of pineapple juices, brown sugar, ground cloves, and a can of lemon lime soda. That is the secret ingredient that my grandfather used to use on his honey ham.
How to make a Glazed Ham:
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Unwrap the ham and place into a shallow baking pan or dish, flat side down.
Place pineapple slices in between the ham slices or simply lay them in the pan around the ham. Sprinkle with the ham with brown sugar and ground cloves. Pour the can of lemon lime soda around the ham.
Cover the entire pan with aluminum foil. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 15 minutes per pound until heated through. Do not overheat.
Spoon the juices over the ham about every 30 minutes.
Once the ham is done cooking, pour the juices into a medium saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and cook over medium to high heat. Whisk as the mixture cooks to thicken slightly. Remove from the heat and pour over the ham.

Made this for a holiday party and it was delicious! I did not have any lemon lime soda so I used a small can of ginger ale and because I didn’t want to cook in front of my guests I just omitted the cornstarch portion and I didn’t miss anything. there was a great crust on the ham, it was juicy and had tons of flavor. I did have to up the temp in my oven for the last 30 minutes but that may have also been from me taking my ham out and basting it. Other than that…perfect!
