With just three ingredients, this pineapple glaze for ham is as easy as it gets; simple and straight forward, it’s the perfect little touch for spring entertaining.
We are keeping things very easy this Easter as Casa de Crews. With everyone that happened personally this year, simple is our speed. And some years that will happen, and it’s okay. The point is to all be together, right?
We tend to celebrate Easter one of two ways; either a more traditional route with a baked ham, and classic sides, or with a cookout (or do you call it, “BBQ”?) where dad manned the grill, and we brought bbq-type sides to the parentals house.
While the meal kit includes a double glazed honey and brown sugar smoked ham, I wanted to add my own small, and personal touch to it. So I’m making a Pineapple Glaze for my ham – with just three ingredients; pineapple juice, dijon mustard, and honey, this glaze goes great with the fresh sliced pineapple included in your meal kit.
This Pineapple Glaze comes together with three ingredients, whisked and brushed onto the ham before heating. I’m almost hesitant to even call it a recipe, because it’s that simple.
- 2 Cups 100% Pineapple Juice
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- In small saucepan over medium heat, cook pineapple juice 20-25 minutes while stirring frequently, until juice reduces by half.
- Whisk in honey, and dijon mustard.
- Cook 5-8 minutes while constantly stirring. Once glaze has thickened to a syrup-like consistency, remove from heat and set aside until ham is ready to be glazed.
Pineapple and ham is just such a classic combination!
