This glazed ham recipe is brushed with honey butter and baked in the oven or the Crock Pot before being brushed with a sweet pineapple brown sugar glaze!
Note: These instructions are for a ham that has already been cooked/smoked, which is marked as such on the label.
Make room for the roasting pan in the oven, you may need to move a rack down one notch. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Pour the pineapple juice on the bottom of the roasting pan and place a roasting rack on top.
Rinse the ham and pat it dry. Place it on the top of the rack.
Combine 4 Tablespoons Melted butter, 2 Tablespoons honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon mustard powder. Brush it over the top of the ham and into the crevices of the slices.
Cover the ham loosely with foil, making sure to seal the edges around the pan. Bake for 15 minutes per pound of ham. (8 pounds = 2 hours.)
Combine the glaze ingredients while the ham bakes and set it aside.
Remove the ham from the oven. Take the foil and place it on a heat-safe surface. Place the rack with the ham on top of the foil. Sprinkle half of the sugar glaze mixture over the top of the ham.
Transfer the roasting pan (with drippings) to the stove and stir in remaining sugar glaze ingredients. Whisk to combine. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Whisk continuously and let it bubble gently until desired thickness is obtained. Remove from heat and transfer the glaze to a heat-safe bowl.
Place the rack with the ham back in the roasting pan.
Brush desired amount of glaze over the ham, you don’t have to use it all.
Broil at 450 for up to 5 minutes to allow the top to caramelize, watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn. (Alternatively, you can use a heating gun to caramelize the top, link in notes.)

Notes
I am able to obtain ¼ cup pineapple juice from an 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple. A sieve helps with this. If needed, you could use chicken broth instead. The ham is done when the a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees when inserted into the thickest part.Crock Pot Method: Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan to broil at the end once glaze is added. You’ll need a 7-8 quart Crock Pot to fit an 8-9 lb. ham.
