Recipe View During the last hour of the ham's baking time, generously brush the pineapple glaze over the ham every 15 minutes, ensuring an even coating. Continue this process until all of the glaze is used, resulting in a beautifully caramelized and flavorful finish. (60 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of dark rum or bourbon to the glaze.
If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of brown sugar.
The glaze can also be made on the stovetop. Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until thickened.
Make sure not to overcook the glaze in the microwave, or it may become too hard.
For easy cleanup, line your baking pan with foil.

    I found the glaze a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the brown sugar slightly.

    My cherries did burn a bit, so I'll definitely add them later next time.
