Ingredients
6–10 lb bone-in spiral-cut cooked ham
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cups brown sugar, divided
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, divided (or two 15 oz cans)
1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
Instructions
1- Pour half of the brown sugar, half of the crushed pineapple, and half of the cinnamon into the bottom of your Dutch oven, crockpot, or Instant Pot to create a flavorful base.
2- Place the ham on top, gently separating the layers or slices to let the flavors seep in deeply.
3- Spread 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard all over the ham, making sure to get it between the slices for that extra tang.
4- Pour the remaining crushed pineapple over the ham, ensuring some juice and bits go between the slices for even coating.
5- Add the remaining brown sugar, pressing it into the ham and between slices to help it caramelize beautifully.
6- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top to finish the layering.
7-Now, let’s cover the cooking methods based on what you have at home. For the Dutch oven, preheat your oven to 300Β°F and bake the ham covered for about 2 hours or until it reaches 110Β°F internally. In a crockpot, cook on high for 3 hours for a 6 lb ham or 4 hours for a 10 lb ham, adjusting as needed and using tinfoil for larger ones. For Instant Pot slow cook, layer as above, lock the lid with the vent open, and cook on high for 3 hours before simmering the juices to thicken.

π Use canned crushed pineapple only to maintain the perfect glaze texture.
π₯ The ham is pre-cooked; aim to reheat to 110Β°F (43Β°C) rather than cook fully.
π― Reducing residual juices creates a rich and flavorful glaze that clings to the ham.
