For the holiday ham we serve up two different versions. The boneless ham has ginger ale added to the marinade. This recipe includes pineapple, dark rum, and dry mustard create a tantalizing, tropical-inspired glaze for baked ham. They are both so different we usually make one for Thanksgiving and a the other for Christmas. The entire gathering loves this version with the pineapple glaze and look forward to spending a day eating in my home. If you like one pan dishes try my Cheesy Rice Casserole, Pineapple Glazed Ham or Beer Marinated Italian Sausage.

I used this recipe for our Christmas dinner Marilyn and it was fabulous thank you
I am so glad you tried it AND liked it! I never know if someone will actually give it a go. Happy New Year!
Love the flavours in this recipe, Marilyn! Your Pineapple Glazed Ham is perfect for holiday entertaining! I’m sharing it on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page this evening. Thank you so much for sharing it! Hope to see you at the first Hearth and Soul Link Party of the year on January 8th. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you April for the share!! I look forward to getting back to visiting parties more regularly. (Mine too!) Happy New Year!

I love ham too Amy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
Ooooo, yummy! My next ham will be cooked with this recipe. Thanks!
You are welcome Karen. Enjoy this ham. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday.
I like the list of ingredients they sound so delicious. My mother used to use pineapples, cloves and a glaze using Vernon’s or ginger ale and brown sugar when I was a child. This brought back great memories!
Vernors?? You must be a Michigan girl!! I know the glaze you are talking about and it is delicious. I love when my recipes can bring up fond recipes for someone. Merry Christmas!
Marilyn, I love a pineapple glaze on a ham. Sounds and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks Jann. I just love #SYC! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I’ve never tried glazing ham with rum – sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing with Party in Your PJs!
I love the flavor it adds to the ham. Alas, though, the alcohol burns off so I have to add some to my cola in a glass!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Yes, please! I love glazed pineapple ham. This would be great to make at my family get together this weekend. Thanks for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you Natalie. I have mine all bought and ready to go!! Happy Holidays.
I definitely can see why people would like a sweet glaze on ham. I am sure it offsets the saltiness quite nicely
The pineapple just enhances the flavor of the ham. I like it better than a brown sugar glaze, and so does my sugar!
A wonderful, traditional idea you don’t see very often anymore. Thanks for the revival and Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
I think I love this flaze better than the brown sugar. I know it is better for my sugar too. Thanks Helen. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
Ooo, this looks good. I love a baked ham, especially this time of year. Pinning.
Thank you for the pin Julie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Delicious! I love ham and pineapple. #CookBlogShare
This tastes great! Glad you find it interesting, too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We also love to have a ham at Christmas and this looks delicious!
Thank you Corina! I am looking forward to it this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This sounds yummy! I always glaze my ham with a mixture of brown sugar and mustard but I love pineapples.
This adds a unique flavor to the ham. I love it! Merry Christmas.
Everything you cook looks so yummy! Sharing this in a roundup post to publish on 9-16-17 and one day I want to come to your house for dinner!!!
Thanks Shelley. And you are invited anytime!! Have a great week and stay safe.
Yes please! The best thing about this recipe is the left overs that come with it.
This looks great, I love a good ham and this sounds so good! Thank you for sharing at Fiesta Friday! 🙂

My Mum does something similar at Christmas with the ham and I love it
I love a good holiday recipe. It can’t come soon enough! Have a great week!
Pineapple glaze on a ham is super traditional and very good, but you took it up a whole other level with the rum. Pinning, it looks delicious.
Thanks Leanna. It adds that nice flavor to the mix. Have a great day!
I love a glazed ham and will be trying this recipe for the holidays – which will be here before we know it so I don’t have to wait too long. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
You are right Donna. Time just flies by. Enjoy yhe ham! Have a great week.
No need to wait for the holidays to enjoy this! Thank you for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story.
You are welcome Sandra. I thought about you today and waved as we passed by going to Bay City! Stopped in Frankenmuth for lunch. Have a great week!
Your recipe sounds delicious!
I love baked ham. I usually make it for the holidays instead of turkey. I use pineapple and mustard, but I also include brown sugar, orange marmalade and maraschino cherry juice (along with the pineapples and cherries stuck all over the ham).
I never get the spiral sliced hams tho, they’re usually more expensive. I can slice it myself after (and cut cross hatch before cooking so basting works better).
I will try your recipe next time since I really like the idea of the rum. 😉
Wow. I love YOUR recipe! Want to trade the recipe? I need to try this and soon! Thanks for commenting. Have a great week!
Sure! Tho my recipe is not nearly as detailed as yours. I don’t usually measure anything, just eyeball it. I don’t have any kind of ‘nutrition facts’.
I take one ham and cut it cross ways about 1/2 inch. I stick whole cloves in where the cuts meet. I take a can of pineapple and attach the rings to the ham with toothpicks. I stick a maraschino cherry in the middle of each pineapple.
I pour the juice from the pineapple can into a small bowl. Then I put probably a half cup of brown sugar, a quarter cup of the cherry juice, a couple of big scoops of orange marmalade, a couple of good squirts of mustard, and maybe a quarter cup of honey (a few good squirts).
Mix that up real good and spoon it over the ham. Keep basting with it every half hour or so as the ham cooks. It should thicken up as it gets hot. Cover ham with tin foil so it doesn’t burn, especially towards the end.
I haven’t made a ham since last Christmas, so I may have forgotten something, but this sounds about right.
Give it a try and let me know how you like it. 🙂
Thanks. This is on my list for September!! I can’t wait!
Cool! Let me know how it goes. 🙂
If you write it up, I’ll post it on my blog.
I don’t do recipes very often, mostly because as I said, I usually just eyeball and don’t often cook with any kind of formal recipe.
Sounds like a plan!
This sounds totally delicious and yummy..Would be trying it over the weekend

Thank you for showing interest in my ham. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out! Have a fun week.
Hi Marilyn,
Thanks so much for sharing your delicious Pineapple Glazed Ham with us at Full Plate Thursday. I can never get enough holiday ham. Hope you have a great weekend and come back to see us soon!
Miz Helen
I love the holidays. They are when I bring out all my favorite recipes. This ham is one of them. Have a blessed week!
Hi Marilyn!
You got me on this one! Ham is my favorite meat & always looked forward to having it at the holidays. I’m assuming you’re starting out with raw ham, right?
I’ve never been able to replicate my mama’s version. I love the sound of this with pineapple & mustard! I’m glad to have the recipe! Pinning & thanking you for sharing it at Sweet Inspiration!
Actually Florence I but the cheapest ham I can find as I think they are juicier. Most of my hams are smoked or previously cooked. I warm them and add the glazes to allow the flavor to sink into the ham. They turn out well either way. Have a blessed week!
You are such a talented cook Marilyn, I’m sure the entire family loves it when the dinner is at your house!
You would think so Teresa. But I make them do the cleaning, shopping, setting, clearing and dishes. But the eating goes over very smoothly. ? Thanks for the kind words. Have a blessed week!
I feel hungry now, will have to go and make a sandwich, seriously though this looks amazing #[email protected]_karendennis
This ham always make me hungry. It makes such great leftovers too! Have a safe and blessed week!
Saw this on the Homestead Hop. It sounds delicious. I’ve always been a little intimidated about ham and glazing so we’ve always purchased one. I seriously think I’m going to try it. Thanks!
I take the quick route a lot too. But this is great to make and glaze as you are cooking. The aroma is so tantalizing! Have a blessed and fun week.
That is a beautiful piece of meat – Looks so succulent! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner link up – Have a wonderful week!
I can still smell it. Yum! Thanks for the comment. Have a great week!
This sounds amazing!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
You are welcome Jess. Thanks for the comment. Have a great week!
Whoo this does look tasty. I need to try this recipe 🙂 Thanks for sharing at Creative Mondays.
I hope you enjoy it Claire! Thanks for the comment. Have a great week!
Your recipes always make my stomach growl and my mouth water!
Thanks Shelley. I really try toi make folks hungry. I am always hungry and I hate to do things alone!! You are a great friend. Have a blessed and fun week!
Marilyn, this post made me sooooo hungry! I would love to have a big slice of this with some potato salad or scalloped potatoes right this minute!
A nice salad, this ham and scalloped potatoes followed later by a nice light cake like my Strawberry Poke Cake. Exactly what we had for Mother’s Day! Thanks Jean for the kind words. Have a blessed and fun week!
My aunt used to make these when I was young. It was one of my favorites. Pinning to try!
What a great memory Roseann! Thx for the pin. I hope it measures up! Enjoy your week.
We do love this kind of ham. 🙂
This is a favorite of ours. But there are so many good recipes we use. They are all unique. Have a blessed and fun week!
