Pineapple, Butter & Honey Ham Glaze

If you’re planning to add pineapple to your ham, this is a lovely little recipe to keep on hand.

This Pineapple, Butter & Honey Glaze is sweet, bright, and just rich enough to make a holiday ham feel extra special without a lot of extra work. It combines crushed pineapple, Franklin Raw Honey, Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar, and a touch of Butter Premium Olive Oil for a glaze that’s full of flavor and beautifully balanced.

I love recipes like this because they’re simple, but they make such a difference. The pineapple brings that fresh, sunny sweetness, the honey gives it body, and the balsamic adds a gentle tang that keeps the glaze from feeling too sugary.

The Butter Premium Olive Oil adds a soft richness that rounds everything out beautifully.

This is the kind of glaze that works wonderfully brushed over ham during the final part of baking, but it’s also nice to have made ahead and tucked into the refrigerator until you need it.

And if you happen to have a little extra, it’s delicious spooned over leftover ham or even served on the side.

It’s simple, flavorful, and a wonderful way to add something special to your holiday table.
