Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
Baked ham is moist, tender and delicious inside while the outside is brushed with a brown sugar glaze and caramelized for a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 spiral ham (approx 7-9 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup pineapple juice (or orange juice)
Brown Sugar Glaze
- ½ cup pineapple juice (or orange juice)

- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
