  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce enhances the umami flavor for depth in the glaze
  • 1 cup pineapple juice contributes juiciness and a tropical flair to the dish

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare your baking dish. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or a nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 cup of pineapple juice, and ½ teaspoon of ground cloves until smooth.
  • Spread 4 cups of diced ham and 2 cups of pineapple chunks evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the glaze over the ham and pineapple, then gently toss to coat.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until the ham is heated through and the glaze is caramelized.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or veggies, and spoon extra glaze over each portion.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the glaze is smooth and use high-quality ingredients. Adjust baking time as needed to avoid overcooking.
