Honey Glazed Ham Ingredients:

Spiral Cut Ham: Want to use a Spiral Cut Ham that is about 8-10lbs. The ham I used was a 10lb one.

Pineapple Juice: This is used as a base and helps keep the ham moist as well as adds flavor to the ham and glaze.

Coca-Cola: This is a secret ingredients that I got from my mom, she used coca-cola in ham for year, so I felt it was only right to include that in my recipe as well.

Salted Butter: Used as a base for the glaze, adds that rich salted flavor to the ham.

Honey: Used as a sweetener as well as thickens up the glaze used to coat the ham.

Brown & White Sugar: With the pineapple juice not adding tons of sweetness, I used white and brown sugar in my glaze to adds a more profound and sweet flavor. Also coat top of ham with brown sugar to create a crystalize coating.

How to Make Pineapple Honey Glazed Ham:

Preheat oven to 325. Remove ham from packaging, and place in a large baking dish. Add in Coca-Cola and Pineapple Juice, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

For your glaze, in a medium pan or saucepan on medium heat, add in butter, once melted add in white sugar, brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice and glaze packet that came with ham.

Reduce heat to a low simmer. Whisk for 10-15 minutes until all ingredients are fully incorporated. remove from heat and set aside.
