How to make a perfectly cooked, moist, delicious pineapple honey glazed ham for dinner and holiday celebrations.
Pineapple Honey Glazed Ham is a blend of sweet and salty deliciousness. Whether you're looking for a family dinner idea or rather a main dish to add to your holiday menu, this ham is the perfect addition.
Years ago in a past life, we had a grocery store where we loved to occasionally shop. One of the treats we enjoyed from that store was shaved pineapple ham fresh from the deli.
That's what this recipe reminds me of. The fresh pineapple purée and sliced pineapple, along with honey, give the roasted ham a slightly sweet flavor, but not too sweet.
And it's pretty simple and easy to make… Just be sure to have plenty of toothpicks on hand. I’m definitely adding this recipe to my lists of traditional Easter dinner recipes and favorite Christmas recipes.
Don't forget to make this ham gravy recipe to pour over your baked ham and mashed potatoes. If you need a gluten-free option, this gluten-free ham gravy is pretty delicious.

Tips for how to make a Pineapple Honey Glazed Ham
- Pre-heat the oven to 325°.
- Place a large ham in a roasting pan.
- Add water to the roasting pan.
- Purée a slice or two of pineapple in a blender, just enough to make 2 tablespoons of purée.
- Mix the pineapple purée with the honey, and brush it all over the ham, letting the excess glaze run off the ham and into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Using toothpicks, attach pineapple slices to the outside of the ham, at least 6 to 8 slices.
- Bake the ham at 325°. Bake time will be per the weight of your ham and will differ per ham.
- Once the ham has cooked through and is ready, you'll need to slice it up before serving.
