Brown Sugar and Mustard Glazed Ham
Servings
Ingredients
- 6 pound ham
- 1 cup brown sugar - firmly packed
- 1/2 cup dijon mustard
- 6 pineapple slices
- 6 whole cloves
- 6 maraschino cherries - optional
- Plain wooden toothpicks - (optional)
- 6 ounces coke
- Heavy-duty foil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a roasting pan with a piece or two of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to wrap the ham in.
- If you want, you can score the ham into a crosshatch pattern and stud the intersections of the crosshatches with whole cloves.
- Mix 1 cup of the brown sugar and mustard together to form a thick paste and smear it all over the ham.
- Add pineapple slices to the ham and using a toothpick, decorate the center of the pineapples with a cherry.
- Pour the coke carefully over and around the ham, pull the foil up loosely around the ham and bring it together.Â
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the center of the ham reaches 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer, basting occasionally.
- You can unwrap the ham and place it under the broiler to brown for a few minutes if you want.
- Slice ham and serve with the pan sauce.

My kids don’t like mustard. Can you taste the mustard in this recipe and if so ,is there a substitute for the mustard?
Hi Christine. No you can’t! It’s Dijon so it doesn’t have a normal strong mustard taste. You could definitely use less. Hope they love it!
What kind of ham is best
Really any ham works! I prefer bone-in ham. Hope you love it! -Amy
I made this ham for Easter dinner and it was the best I’ve ever made. So tender and flavorful AND easy! I followed the recipe but had lots of glaze left over. It didn’t exactly stick to the ham, maybe I didn’t get it think enough.
I’ve been using the brown sugar/mustard glaze for years, so good! I’ll try it with the Coke this year, thanks Amy!! It looks beautiful 🙂
What does the coke do?
Hi Hayley. Just try it! It gives it a nice flavor and glaze! -Amy
Jason, made this glaze for our Easter ham. I did not have Coke, so I just used 1/2 cup of the pineapple juice in the glaze. The family loved it. I will definitely make it this way again.
Hi Kay. Thanks for sharing! Glad you liked it! Pineapple juice sounds delicious! -Amy
Have you tried this cooking ham in a slow cooker?
