Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-cooked ham, bone-in or boneless, approximately 3.6 to 4.5 kg
- 240 ml pineapple juice
- 110 g light brown sugar
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml honey

- 60 g fresh pineapple chunks, drained
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, light brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the surface in a diamond pattern.

- Once done, let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
