Baked Ham with Spiced Pineapple Glaze
Easter is just around the corner! Are you armed with a delicious ham idea yet? Allow me to share a simple, melt-in-your-mouth recipe with you.
As a kid, sometimes you don't pay too much attention to what is on your plate. Or at least, not until dessert. But I have a vivid food memory from my childhood- involving this very ham. We had been invited over to a friend's house after church one Sunday, and our kind hostess served us the sweetest, most perfect baked ham that had ever been in my mouth. I remember wanting the slices of ham to never end. Thank goodness my mom found out what she put in the glaze for her magical ham! (It's all in the glaze.) That ham had been dressed with pineapple, drenched with honey, and spiked with spices. And it's now and forever my favorite way to have baked ham. Enjoy!
