This is the best Baked Ham with Pineapple Glaze recipe you'll ever need.

This ham isn't the typical spicy type unless you want it to be, we have the option of adding the cloves, nutmeg, and ginger-flavored ham listed in the recipe card but Mom made it with a sweet soda, pineapple, and cherry glaze.

This tender sliced ham can be slowly cooked in a crockpot, oven, or even Dutch oven on the stovetop just the cooking times will vary.

Slowly cooking this sweet tender ham will glaze it perfectly and meld the flavors throughout every slice.

The ham depending on the size cooks at around 20 minutes per pound, we use an instant-read thermometer to ensure it's cooked all the way through.

This glaze is delicious and has pineapple with maraschino cherries and lemon-lime soda, that's how my mom made this recipe.

Shopping List for Making A Glazed Whole Ham

Whole Ham Butt, Shoulder Cut or Spiral Cut Ham: we usually go for the spiral ham when it's on sale
pineapple chunks(or crushed, whole rings whatever you prefer): use canned or fresh cut in cubes
maraschino cherries: this is optional for those who aren't fond of them
brown sugar: the sweetness of the sugar glazes the ham perfectly
lemon-lime soda: this will keep your ham juicy!
Optional: nutmeg, cloves ground, ginger, cinnamon: if you love all the fall spices add these just a pinch of each for additional flavor to taste

Other Substitutions for Ham using this Glaze and Tips

boneless chicken
boneless pork tenderloin
spare ribs
sirloin boneless steak

any pineapple can be used in chunks, crushed, or rings
substitute Coke for lemon-lime in a pinch or cherry coke
add more or fewer spices to your preferences, such as cloves, nutmeg, ginger, etc.
add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a little heat
