This pineapple glaze is my go to recipe whenever I need to dress up a ham for a special occasion. The combination of sweet pineapple and bright maraschino cherries creates such a gorgeous, glossy coating that always impresses my guests. What I love most is how ridiculously simple it is to make, taking just ten minutes of prep and five minutes to cook. Plus, pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion, so you're adding a little nutritional boost to your meal. With mostly pantry staples, this glaze won't break the bank either.
