📝 Ingredients

  • 4 pound boneless, half ham (see note)
  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (6 ounce can) pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. 2Cut the ham into even slices. I prefer the ham sliced thick - about 1/4-inch slices. However, you can slice it thinner or thicker based on your preferences OR leave the ham whole and proceed with the recipe, slicing after it has been baked. If leaving whole, you may need a slightly longer baking time.
  3. 3Place the ham slices in a 9X13-inch dish. If the ham you are using is bigger or smaller, adjust the size of the pan accordingly. The ham slices can be layered.
  4. 4Sprinkle the brown sugar across the ham and rub the sugar into the ham slices, flipping the pieces so the sugar gets on both sides.
  5. 5Pour the pineapple juice evenly over the ham. Drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the ham.
  6. 6Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes until heated through and warm. Don't over cook the ham.
  7. 7Spoon cooking liquid in bottom of the baking pan over the ham before serving.
