This tangy pineapple glaze is perfect for enhancing the flavor of your ham, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and zest.
Combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan.
Whisking the dry ingredients first ensures the cornstarch is evenly distributed.
Add the undrained crushed pineapple, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the saucepan.
Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly before heating.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to boil.
Keep stirring to prevent the glaze from sticking to the pan.
Boil the glaze for 1 minute while stirring, then remove from heat.
Boiling activates the cornstarch, ensuring the glaze thickens properly.
Serve the warm glaze over your cooked ham.
For a festive touch, garnish the ham with pineapple rings and cherries.
