Horseradish-Pineapple Ham Glaze

This Horseradish-Pineapple Ham Glaze is a little spicy and a little sweet. It dresses up your ham for any occasion.

Easter is right around the corner and I have already starting thinking about my menu which of course includes a ham. What I love about hams is that they’re so easy to prepare and way less intimidating than a turkey. All you have to do is warm it up in the oven but if you really want to give it a little pizzazz, add a tasty glaze.

My family loves horseradish so I thought why create a Horseradish-Pineapple Ham Glaze? That way you get a little sweetness from the pineapple with a little kick from the horseradish. The ham is basted in the glaze while cooking and creates this beautiful color and flavor.
