Glazed Baked Ham

 

 

1/3 c.  light brown sugar


½ c. honey
1/3 c. dry red wine


½ c. pineapple juice


1 medium clove garlic, finely minced


1 fully cooked ham


In a large bowl or large food storage bag which will hold a ham, combine the brown sugar, honey, wine, pineapple juice, and minced garlic. Place the ham in the marinade, turn to coat well, and let marinate for 6 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Turn frequently to keep ham coated with marinade. Preheat the oven to 350 degree. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, reserving marinade for basting. Bake the ham, basting frequently with the reserved marinade, until a meat thermometer reads about 140 degrees, or about 10 minutes per pound.
