Christmas Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple -- A Retro Recipe

A honey baked ham with pineapple and brown sugar glaze is the perfect easy dish to make for holiday entertaining. This Christmas recipe reminds me so much of being a kid and smelling ham cooking in the oven while I played with my toys that Santa brought me.

My mom would always make this type of ham for the holidays, and it is as good today as it was back then. It's such a special treat because when else do you ever think to make a ham?

I had an early Christmas dinner this past weekend with some family and friends and everyone went crazy over the ham. It's simple to make and it looks so beautiful with the golden pineapple slices on top.
I guarantee that if you make this ham it will be a hit for your holiday dinner and everyone will want to know how you did it. Just tell them that you made it with love, and a little help from your friend Sugar.

Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless!
