  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) pineapple juice
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) beef broth
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) each packed brown sugar and cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard

  1. Discard glaze packet from ham. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 275ºF (135ºC).
  3. In a saucepan, bring pineapple juice, broth, sugar and vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Whisk in mustard and hot pepper sauce.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Whisk into saucepan and cook, whisking for about 1 minute or until thickened. Brush some of the pineapple glaze over ham and cover with foil. Bake for about 2 hours or until meat thermometer reaches a temperature of 140ºF. Uncover ham and brush with some more of the glaze.
