Ingredients

  • 1 (4-6 pound) boneless fully cooked ham
  • 3/4 cup water divided
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons ketchup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups undrained crushed pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the ham in a roasting pan, or place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet like I did, and bake for 1 - 2 hours, or until the center of the ham has reached 140 degrees.
  • While the ham is cooking, make the sauce.
  • Start by combining 1/4 cup of water, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, and canned crushed pineapple together in a saucepan.
  • Bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • While the mixture is simmering, separately combine cornstarch and water and stir until there are no chunks remaining.
  • After the 10 minutes is up, stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and bring it to a boil.
  • Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, so it can thicken.
  • Serve with the ham!

Notes

This recipe can easily be halved! I used a 2 pound ham and halved the sauce and it was perfect for Trevor and I...we just had a lot of leftovers ;)
