Pineapple Glaze for Baked Ham

Posted at the request of my sister. Glazing a ham while cooking is wonderful but the first person to the platter usually makes off the the glazed ends and the rest of the people get a "glazed rim". The solution in our house is to make lots of glaze and pour it over each slice!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 1  cup brown sugar
• 1 (10 ounce) can crushed pineapple
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon dry mustard or 1  tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1  tablespoon cornstarch
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan including the juice/syrup from the pineapple.
2. Turn heat on to medium and stir constantly to prevent burning.
3. Continue to heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
4. Allow mixture to boil for approximately 1 minute.
5. If mixture refuses to thicken, add more cornstarch- a little at a time.
6. (Be sure to mix your cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup to make a smooth liquidified mixture before adding it to the hot sauce.) Pour finished sauce into a serving bowl, complete with a ladle, and let your guests pour it over baked sliced ham.
