Baked ham is moist, tender and delicious inside while the outside is brushed with a brown sugar glaze and caramelized for a hint of sweetness.

Steps
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Combine dijon mustard and pineapple juice. Brush over ham.
If your ham has a plastic disk on the bone, this should be removed and discarded. Place the ham, flat side down in a roasting pan, and cover tightly with foil. Roast 12-15 minutes per pound (or according to package directions).
Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer 2-3 minutes. Cool.
15 minutes before ham is done, remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 425°F.
Brush with glaze and return to the oven until the glaze is caramelized and the ham has reached the safe cook temperature.

Janice Johnston on 2026-04-06 (5 stars): It was easy and delicious. I will make this again.
Shari Wheeler on 2026-04-05 (5 stars): Second Easter in a row I have made this for a crowd and everyone loves it! It’s really easy to make and tastes delicious.
Patricia on 2026-04-05 (5 stars): Love this recipe. It’s a big hit with my family. I’d like to make the Au gratin Potatoes with it. Suggestions on how I can cook both in the same oven?
Heather on 2026-04-04 (5 stars): I use this recipe with the pineapple / juice for every Easter dinner and sometimes they beg me to make it alongside turkey at Christmas as EVERYONE loves my ham thanks to you!
Summer on 2025-12-25 (5 stars): Absolutely perfect recipe! We always fry turkey for Thanksgiving & Christmas but serve ham alongside the turkey. I used pineapple juice instead of orange & only had plain mustard. I did have to bake it at 350 instead of 325. However, the ham was tender, juicy, & so delicious.
Nora on 2025-12-23 (5 stars): Do I return to the oven with the glaze covered in tin foil or without tinfoil the last 15 minutes?
Frank on 2025-12-22 (5 stars): just started but if they taste as good as they look I am going to be a very happy person. I do a lot of cooking with the NuWave Bravo XL oven, the new wave oven (the round one), and the new wave pressure cooker 6 quart. We almost entirely do our ribs in the pressure cooker and they are absolutely perfect.
Angie Lynch on 2025-10-26 (5 stars): one of my go to bloggers for recipes! This one definitely didn't disappoint! Cooked exactly the way directed, added cherries and fresh pineapple for the final 20 minutes, turned out great!
Nicole on 2025-10-15 (5 stars): Fabulous recipe. We loved it. I bought another ham to make it again.
