Ingredients

  • 1 ea spiral sliced ham, bone-in
  • 1 can pineapple slices with juice
  • 1/4 C brown sugar light or dark

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the packaging from the pre-cooked ham and place it in a oven safe casserole dish.
  • Open the can of pineapple slices and place the slices between the slices of ham. Then pour the juice from the can over it.
  • Rub the brown sugar evenly over the pineapple slices and ham. You can adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • Cover the ham with aluminum foil and let it cook for 1.5 hours in the oven. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the ham. You want the ham to heat through and the flavors to meld.
  • Check the ham periodically. You can baste it with the juices that collect in the dish to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
  • If your ham came with a glaze package, you could mix this with a few tablespoons of the pineapple juice, mix it and glaze the ham with it.
  • Slice the ham and serve it with the pineapple slices.

Notes

Note: Since the ham is already cooked, the goal is to heat it through and infuse it with the flavors of pineapple and brown sugar.

For a Slow Cooker:

Place the ham in your slow cooker and continue with step 2.  Cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-1.5 hours.  
Cooking times may vary based on the specifics of your oven/slow cooker and the ham's size, so adjust accordingly.
