Equipment

  • Large Baking Pan
  • Toothpicks
  • Saute Pan
  • Oven
  • Aluminim Foil

Ingredients

  • 10 lb Bone-in spiral-sliced ham
  • 1 Can Sliced Pineapple in juices
  • 1 Can Cherry Coke Coke or Dr Pepper will also work.
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • ½ Stick Butter

Instructions

For the Ham

  • Place the ham flat side down in a large baking pan and score the ham diagonally with a sharp knife.
  • Open the can of pineapple and pour the juice on top of the ham.
  • Sprinkle the ham with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Dad used his handy dandy spice shaker and mixed up ¼ cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
  • Drizzle honey all over the top of the ham and then place the pineapple slices on the ham. Secure them with toothpicks.
  • Sprinkle a little more of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on the ham coating the pineapple slices too.
  • Pour one can of coke in the pan.
  • Tent the ham tightly with tin foil and place it in a preheated 275-degree oven for 12-15 minutes a pound. For Dad's ham it was 3 hours.

For the Glaze

  • When the time on the ham is done take the ham out of the oven and bump the temp up to broil.
  • In a large pot or saucepan add ½ cup of the liquid from the ham, ½ cup of brown sugar, ½ a stick of butter, ½ tablespoon of cinnamon and ½ tablespoon of honey. Cook on a low simmer until it reduces and thickens enough to coat a spoon. It took about 6-8 minutes for Dad.
  • Pour the glaze all over the top of the ham making sure you coat it as best as possible.
  • Return the ham uncovered to the oven on broil. Make sure you watch it closely because it can easily burn. You are just looking to caramelize the glaze and get a nice color on the ham. Remove the ham when you are happy with the color.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes to help keep it juicy when you slice it.
