Ham & Pineapple Broil

The broiler catches the edges of ham and pineapple beneath a glossy orange-mustard glaze. Each portion gets another spoonful of the reserved glaze just before serving.

This quick Ham & Pineapple Broil layers thick portions of fully cooked ham with pineapple and green bell pepper, then finishes everything under the broiler with a bright orange-Dijon glaze. It is an easy supper for busy nights and a practical way to turn leftover holiday ham into something that feels new.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

I use the oldest leftover ham first. I turn the pan once if the broiler heats unevenly. I put extra glaze on the pineapple pieces. Those always disappear before the ham does.

How to Make Ham & Pineapple Broil

◆

Orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard being stirred in a small saucepan to make glaze for ham.

01

Make the Orange Glaze

Simmer thawed orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until smooth and pourable.

Twelve round ham portions topped with pineapple rings and green bell pepper rings in a large rectangular baking dish.

02

Arrange the Ham and Fruit

Place six ham portions in a single layer, then top each with pineapple and green bell pepper and brush with glaze.

03

Broil Until Caramelized

Broil until bubbling and lightly browned, rotate the pan, brush again, and finish until the ham is hot throughout.

04

Serve Hot

Let the glaze settle briefly, then spoon the reserved clean glaze over the ham before serving with rice or rolls.
