I’ve made this Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham for Christmas Eve dinner for the past 17 years. To say it’s a family tradition would be an understatement. This ham is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, with a glossy pineapple glaze that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Whether you’re hosting a festive gathering or just want a memorable meal, this recipe is here to make your holiday table shine.
Why I Love This Recipe
Not So Sweet: Store-bought glazed hams often pack more sugar than you’d like. Making your own lets you control the sweetness and use fresh, wholesome ingredients.
Quick and Easy: Preparing this pineapple brown sugar glazed ham is a breeze! Simply simmer the glaze on the stove to dissolve the sugar, then roast the ham in the oven. It’s the perfect centerpiece to pair with sides like Air Fryer Baby Potatoes, Cheese Grits and Cast Iron Brussels Sprouts, leaving you free to focus on the rest of your meal.
A Year-Round Favorite: This ham isn’t just a winter holiday staple. The tangy sweetness of pineapple makes it a great choice for Easter brunch, summer gatherings, or any time you’re craving a flavorful, crowd-pleasing dish.
