By America's Test KitchenPublished on December 10, 2012
Yield
Serves 16 to 20
Ingredients
2 cans (20-ounce) can pineapple slices packed in juice1 cup packed dark brown sugar ⅓ cup Dijon mustard ¼ cup whole grain mustard 7 - 10 pound spiral-sliced, bone-in half ham, preferably shank end
Instructions
- Drain pineapple, reserving 3/4 cup juice. Whisk juice, brown sugar, and mustards in bowl.
- Remove ham from packaging and discard plastic disk that covers bone. Line 13 by 9-inch baking dish with two 24-inch-long pieces of foil. Place ham cut side down in lined baking dish and brush liberally with glaze. Using toothpicks, attach pineapple rings all over top and sides of ham. (Do not press toothpicks all the way into ham.) Brush with more glaze and wrap tightly in foil. Let stand at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.
- Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Bake ham until center registers about 100 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 2 to 3 hours, depending on weight of ham (17 minutes per pound).
- Remove ham from oven and roll back foil to expose ham. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Brush ham liberally with more glaze and return to oven until glaze becomes golden brown and sticky, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, brush entire ham again with glaze, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 30 to 40 minutes before carving, basting ham with juices once or twice. Serve.

Why This Recipe Works
A baked spiral-sliced ham garnished with pineapple slices is a retro recipe that we were happy to revisit, especially around the holidays. Keeping the ham tightly wrapped in foil while it was in the oven ensured the meat was succulent and juicy, and using canned pineapple slices packed in juice in our recipe—instead of fresh—kept the fruit from drying out as our glazed ham cooked.
