Step By Step Directions

• Add crushed pineapple with the juice into a blender and blend until smooth.
• In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and ginger. 
• Mix well. 
• Pour the pineapple and spice mix into a sauce pan. 

• Whisk together and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sauce starts to bubble and brown sugar is dissolved. 
• Set aside to cool slightly. 
• Prepare a grill fire to 250°. We cooked this ham on our pellet grill using hickory pellets. 

• Place the ham on a clean baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels. 
• Brush the pineapple glaze all over the ham and between the slices. 

• Cook ham with the grill closed for 1 hour.

• Brush with additional glaze and continue cooking for another 30 minutes to one hour until  the center of the ham reaches 140° using a digital meat thermometer.

• Remove from the grill and rest about 10 minutes before serving. 

How to Store and Reheat

Wrap ham in several layers of plastic wrap or store in a zip top bag in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Vacuum sealed ham can be stored in the refrigerator up to 7 days or freeze up to 3 months. Save the ham bone for beans or soup. 

Reheat ham slices in a skillet coated with olive oil and cook over medium heat, turning after 2 minutes, to crisp both sides.
