Easy Brown Sugar Ham

The most incredible brown sugar glaze there ever was. Perfectly sweet, tangy and savory! An absolute holiday classic.
Say hello to the easiest ham recipe for your holiday spread. And I truly mean, the easiest.
Not to mention, the sweet/savory/tangy brown sugar glaze that will knock your socks off. A glaze made of brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, mustard, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and cloves. All the good stuff here.
I opted for a non-spiral ham this time around, cutting some shallow scores in a diamond pattern to render the fat underneath and let that lovely glaze seep through those cracks, soaking up all that flavor. But a spiral ham will also work just fine here.
If you have any leftovers, there are plenty of ways to repurpose them. Sandwiches are always my go-to.
