Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the ham in a large baking dish.
2
Pour 1/2 cup of pineapple juice over the ham. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
3
Bake the covered ham for 30 minutes.
4
While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, melted butter, and about 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice.
5
Stir the glaze ingredients together until well combined. The consistency should be thick but spreadable.
6
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the ham from the oven and remove the foil.
7
Brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it in between the slices.
8
Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the ham and pour or brush any remaining glaze over them.
9
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
10
While the ham finishes baking, prepare the Brussels sprouts. Preheat a separate oven or adjust the temperature to 400°F (204°C).
11
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
12
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a foil-lined baking sheet and top with chopped bacon.
13
Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy.
14
Serve the glazed ham alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Score the ham's surface in a crosshatch pattern before glazing to help the brown sugar mixture caramelize and stick during baking.
Add the glaze in the final 15-20 minutes to prevent the brown sugar from burning; brush every 5 minutes for an even, glossy finish.
Roast Brussels sprouts at 400-425°F to ensure they crisp up while the ham bakes at 325°F—time them to finish simultaneously or reheat sprouts briefly before serving.
Use pineapple juice from the can in both the glaze and a shallow pan around the ham to add moisture and prevent drying during the long bake.

Substitutions

Dijon mustard → whole grain mustard (milder, grainier texture)
Brown sugar → maple syrup (adds deeper, smokier sweetness; reduce liquid by 2 tbsp)
Pineapple juice → orange juice or apple juice (similar acidity and sweetness with different flavor profile)
Bacon → pancetta or prosciutto bits (adds salt and richness; reduce added salt if using salted varieties)

Storage & make-ahead

Cool ham completely, then wrap tightly in foil or transfer to an airtight container; refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat gently at 300°F covered with foil, or serve cold sliced. Roasted Brussels sprouts are best eaten fresh but keep refrigerated up to 3 days and can be reheated at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Common Questions

How long does a 3.3 lb spiral-sliced ham take to cook?

Spiral-sliced ham typically requires 10-15 minutes per pound at 325°F. Start checking at 45 minutes for a 3.3 lb ham, then apply glaze in the final 15-20 minutes.

Can I make the glaze ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, and pineapple juice up to 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and brush onto ham during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

What if I don't have canned pineapple rings?

Fresh pineapple rings work equally well. You can also use pineapple chunks scattered around the ham, or skip them entirely and use only the juice in the glaze.

How do I store leftover glazed ham?

Wrap cooled ham tightly in foil or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat gently at 300°F, covered, or serve cold sliced.

Can I prepare the Brussels sprouts ahead?

Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil and seasonings up to 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered. Roast fresh, and add bacon just before serving for maximum crispness.
