First I have to say that I made a couple of changes to the recipe. I didn't have sliced pinapple, so I used crushed pineapple. I was afraid it wouldn't turn out right to bake it that way, so I just mixed the pineapple, undrained, the orange juice, and the spices (minus paprika, plus cinnamon)in a saucepan and brought to a boil, then thickened with a little cornstarch. I heated the ham slices in a skillet, then poured the sauce over and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. It was absolutely delicious! It was a wonderful weeknight meal made in no time. I can't WAIT to make it the next time we have leftover ham, and plan ahead to make it the right way! Both ways would be equally good! Thanks for posting! -
Very easy recipe to prepare. The only complaint that I had about the recipe was totally my own fault. I had to use a large can of pineapple chunks because I didn't have any pineapple slices. Next time I won't use the whole can though because it was just a little too much pineapple taste. I thought the addition of paprika was very interesting and gave a unique flavor to the ham.

“So many recipes, so little time.” I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I try to prepare at least 3 new recipes a week. I have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was first able to peer over the top of Mom’s kitchen counter.
I have been married for over 25 years and have one adult daughter. My hobbies (other than cooking) include gardening, yoga, shopping, reading, and crafts. I also have a commitment to myself to work out for an hour at least 3 times a week
Every other weekend, DH and I go to our weekend home at a golf course country club. On Friday afternoons, we usually eat lunch on the road as we try to beat the traffic out of town. I'm always looking for new sandwich ideas for those Friday lunches. Once we get there, I don't want to drive yet again to the supermarket or even out to dinner. (The closest supermarket is 3 miles away.) Through 'zaar, I have found the convenience of "dump" recipes for Friday night dinners. I make them up in advance and freeze, then just put them in the ice chest for the trip. They are ready to grill or bake for dinner.
During the week, I stick with quick and easy recipes that can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. On weekends is when I try the more complicated recipes that take a longer time to prepare. I've assembled by main dish cookbooks accordingly.
I have nothing against convenience foods (use them all the time!) and I am in no way a food snob. However, I don't cook with cream of xxxx soups, processed cheese food, and others of that ilk. Besides being full of sodium, fat and other bad things, I just don't care for the taste and texture.
DH is lactose-intolerant and has high cholesterol, which challenges me to find healthy good-tasting recipes.
