This isn’t your average Easter brown sugar ham.
This ham is best served with a baked-on glaze. Oh, and about the glaze packet that comes with your ham? Toss that directly into the garbage and gather the ingredients for a pineapple brown sugar ham glaze. In a few minutes, you’ll have the best and most simple glaze ready to pour on your ham!
Si Foster shares how, and says this holiday recipe will stand the test of time! She loves the sweet and slightly sticky glaze and the way it complements the flavor of the ham. The glaze is easy to put together because it only requires a pan, a whisk, and about five minutes of your time. Your 8-year-old can whisk this together for you while you watch!
