Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 1 whole Bone-in spiral ham Pre-cooked for convenience
  • 1 can Pineapple slices With juice
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Consider maple syrup for a richer alternative

  • 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes For a spicy kick

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove all packaging from the bone-in spiral ham and place it in a large, oven-safe casserole dish.
  3. Insert pineapple slices between the spiral cuts of the ham and pour the reserved pineapple juice over the ham.
  4. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar over the surface of the ham and pineapple slices.
  5. Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake for about 1.5 hours.
  6. Baste the ham every 30 minutes with the juices collected.
  7. If using a glaze packet, mix it with retained pineapple juice and apply it to the ham in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  8. Check if the ham is hot throughout and the glaze is golden brown after 1.5 hours.
  9. Let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
