How Long to Cook Pineapple-Glazed Ham
Your pineapple-glazed ham should be thoroughly cooked after about 90 minutes of total cooking time in an oven set to 325 degrees F. The thickest section of the ham has a temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) on a meat thermometer.
Ingredients
- 1 (6 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham, cut-side down, into a roasting pan.
Step3
Cut skin off pineapple with a sharp cutter and slice off any brown spots or skin left before. Cut pineapple into 1/ 2- inch-thick rings and use a round knife to remove cores. Leg rings onto ham with toothpicks
Step 4
Bake ham in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 5
While the ham is baking, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on medium power until the glaze boils and thickens slightly. Be careful as the icing will be sticky and very hot.

Pour half of the glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple rings. Bake the ham for another 30 minutes, then pour the remaining glaze over the ham.
