Pineapple and brown sugar glaze for gammon
A simple, sweet glaze for bolied ham or gammon - it's simply pineapple juice and brown sugar. The cherries are optional but I suppose traditional! If you could also add a teaspoon of French mustard.

- Before baking ham for the final hour, place pineapple slices on top with a cherry in centre of each ring (if using).

This is an excellent glaze, I have used it for years. The only differences is that I add a little mustard to the glaze. - 18 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is a wonderful recipe for ham. I did add some ground cloves and dijon mustard to the pineapple juice mixture and it gave the ham a great flavor. I would definitely use this again. - 05 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Quick, easy and really permeates into the meat. My father in law thought it was from a "Ham Company" since it was so flavorful. Nice way to jazz up a ham. - 06 Oct 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
