• Yield 12 to 15 servings
• Ready in 15 minutes
• Cook 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 pound boneless, half ham
• 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
• 3/4 cup (6 ounce can) pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut the ham into even slices. However, you can slice it thinner or thicker based on your preferences OR leave the ham whole and proceed with the recipe, slicing after it has been baked. If leaving whole, you may need a slightly longer baking time.
3. Place the ham slices in a 9X13-inch dish. If the ham you are using is bigger or smaller, adjust the size of the pan accordingly. The ham slices can be layered.
4. Sprinkle the brown sugar across the ham and rub the sugar into the ham slices, flipping the pieces so the sugar gets on both sides.
5. Pour the pineapple juice evenly over the ham. Drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the ham.
6. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes until heated through and warm. Don't over cook the ham.
7. Spoon cooking liquid in bottom of the baking pan over the ham before serving.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
