Number Of Ingredients 5

7 lb ham butt portian
1 can(s) pineapple slices, unsweetened
1/2 c honey
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, grainy type

Steps:

  • 7. Place pineapple slices over the top of the ham.
  • 8. Continue baking another 40-50 minutes. Ham should be very brown all over. Cool about 20 minutes or more. If using an unsliced ham, use an electric knife to slice thin.
