Servings:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the packaging from the pre-cooked ham and place it in an oven safe casserole dish. Place the slices or pineapple between the slices of ham, then pour the pineapple juice from the can over it.
10 pounds bone-in spiral ham, 20 ounces pineapple slices in juice
Rub the brown sugar evenly over the pineapple slices and ham. You can adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your sweetness preference.
¼ cup brown sugar
Cover the ham with aluminum foil and let it cook for 1 ½ hours in the oven.

Check the ham periodically. You can baste it with the juices that collect in the dish to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the ham. You want the ham to heat through and the flavors to meld.
Combine the brown sugar with a pinch of cinnamon or ground cloves enhance flavor.
Slow Cooker Option: Place the ham in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours for hands-off cooking.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the brown sugar for a richer glaze. Or include Dijon mustard or balsamic vinegar for a tangy-sweet balance.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, or roasted root vegetables.
Pair with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and a light salad for a holiday-worthy spread.
Use leftover ham slices for sandwiches, breakfast omelets, or as a topping for baked potatoes or pizzas.
Store leftover ham in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze sliced ham in resealable freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Heat slices in the oven at 325 degrees F, covered, until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes.
