modern pineapple ham

This Modern Honey Pineapple Ham is served in a fresh new way but every bit as delicious as your grandma's traditional ham. It's stuffed with pineapple slices and coated in a balsamic honey glaze then roasted to perfection. It's the perfect Thanksgiving (or Christmas or Easter) main dish recipe.

Modern Pineapple Ham with Balsamic Honey Glaze

ham,

pineapple

honey

balsamic vinegar

Dijon mustard

cayenne

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking dish large enough to fit the ham with parchment paper. (To make cleanup easier.)

Slice your ham 1/2 inch thick slices, cutting halfway through.

Cut the bottom and top of your pineapple then cut it in half lengthwise. Cut the skin off one half then cut it in half lengthwise again. Cut the tough core out of the two quarters then lay them flat and slice them into thin (1/8 inch thick) strips. Tuck these strips into the cuts you made in the ham, 2 pineapple slices per cut.

In a small bowl, mix the honey, balsamic vinegar, and cayenne. Brush a small amount over the ham.

Bake the ham 1 1/2 hours then remove it from the oven. Pour the remaining glaze over the top, making sure it seeps into the pineapple filled cuts. Return the ham to the oven for another half hour. Let the ham rest on your counter for 15 minutes before serving.

Hello!  Just wanted to let you know that I made this the other night - super delicious - the family just LOVED it and devoured it all!!  Thanks!

I was craving ham the other day and thought I would try your recipe, It was a hit with everyone. Thank you!

This was a great recipe, my only reservation would be that parts of the ham nearest where the pineapple sat turned to mush and I’m thinking it’s because of the enzymes in the pineapple. Has this happened to you? Or did it just happen to be an extremely juicy pineapple that caused it?
