Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham - I have been making Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham for Christmas Eve dinner for the beyond 17 years. My mom in law is the genuine inspiration as pineapple and ham are two of her preferred ingredients in the world. to mention it's miles a family subculture could be an irony. The main dinner party takes place on Christmas morning, so i like to maintain Christmas Eve fairly easy and short. That manner we can spend greater time focusing on all the family amusing! 

I like the simplicity of this dish, it's far excellent easy to throw together quick, but the great part is the flavor. The ham receives layers and layers of flavor from the zippy mustard, tangy pineapple and specially the maple syrup and brown sugar that take this ham to the subsequent stage. it's far the suitable dish to accompany garlic roasted red potatoes, chopped brussels sprouts salad.
