Some of you may say yuck but others like me grew up on that ham. It was good, very good because my mom made it but it was just lacking something. I never realized it until I tried this pineapple brown sugar glaze recipe.

May be brushed on several times during the last 30 minutes of cooking time for the ham. Making a gorgeous Pineapple Glazed Ham is not as hard as one would think. This super easy ham glaze will rock your baked ham.
