Such an easy sauce to make and can be used for so much! I served it on ham with mashed potatoes and green beans! So good!

Easy and delicious. Skipped the mustard, and added Tabasco sauce instead. The spicy sweetness was delicious!

I love pineapple glaze for ham. This one was the recipe I was looking for. However, I also compared it to a Betty Crocker recipe that I had and it only called for one can of pineapples (otherwise the recipe was the same) so I used one can instead of the two that this recipe calls for.
