    This is The Best Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Rub and Pineapple . It was both sweet and a little bit tangy with Dry Mustard and ground cloves in the rub. Pouring pineapple juice over the ham before cooking keeps it moist.

    Normally I get Honey Baked Ham or a spiral ham from Costco for my holiday dinners. If I buy one at Costco or the grocery store, they normally come with a package of glaze. However, I saw a recipe for this dry rub . I got a small precooked ham and decided to give it a try.

    Is this a Rub or a Glaze ?

    It is actually a dry rub that you rub into the ham , let sit for a few hours or over night . When you pour pineapple juice over the ham to cook . it makes a glaze.

    How long does it take to cook ham ?

    If you are cooking a fully cooked ham, it should only take 15 minutes per pound to get hot. Make sure the internal temperature is at least 145

    How long is left over ham good for?

    If wrapped tightly in saran wrap or foil and kept refrigerated, it should be good for 5-7 days.
