Keyword: Pineapple Ham Glaze
Servings: 12 (1¼ cups total - enough for a 8-10 lb. ham)

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup canned pineapple juice (see note)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Use right away or make up to 3 days in advance (store in an airtight container in the fridge. Warm it up and give it a good stir before basting over your ham.)

Notes

*Use canned pineapple juice. Fresh juice tends to break down the ham and can make it mushy.
