Ingredients

5.5 lbs. boneless smoked ham ($24.42*)

15 oz. can sliced pineapple (packed in juice, $1.68**)

1 cup brown sugar (packed, $0.48)

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard ($0.06)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.10)

1 tsp salt ($0.03***)

1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.17)

1 tsp onion powder ($0.10)

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice ($0.20)

water ($0.00****)

Instructions

1 Gather all glaze ingredients and preheat oven to 350°F.

2 In a saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice (one 15oz can yields about 1 cup of juice), brown sugar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, and pumpkin pie spice.

3 Cook the glaze down over medium heat until it is reduced by half.

4 Place the ham cut side down in the roasting pan of your choosing.

5 Brush the ham with half the glaze mixture and cover it with slices of canned pineapple. Add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.

6 Make a tinfoil tent to cover the entire ham. Place the tinfoil over the ham and bake for 20 minutes per pound of meat, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Baste the ham periodically, using a baster or a large spoon.

7 Once the ham reaches 145°F, remove the tinfoil tent and baste. Then, brush the ham with all remaining glaze.
