I have to admit, this is only my second ham.
I know, who the heck has only ever had ham twice? Well, me. I grew up thinking ham was for weird people, but like so many times before, I was so wrong. Ham is beyond delicious, or at least this chipotle pineapple jerk glazed ham is, and the leftovers are amazing!!
Especially with a house…or two, full of people.
It’s a little weird being down in the barn and having people up at the big house. Sometimes everyone is down here, helping me make ravioli and drinking beers and then they go back up, because I have zero places to sit. Like no bar stools, no kitchen table. I have my desk and a chair.
It’s a little empty, but making it work.
Anyway, I will not lie that ham is not a tradition around here for us at Christmastime, but I know that for so many people ham is a ritual, so I figured it was time I came up with my own recipe. So glad I ventured out of my comfort zone, because this is so good. Like you can just pull the ham right off the bone and eat it good.
And the next day’s sammies?? Maybe even better…
PLUS, ham is SO EASY.
I of course could not find any hams that were not already spiral cut, but it still worked great. If I were you, I would try to find one on the bone, but not cut. I think it keeps the ham a little moister and to be honest, the already cut hams are not that easy to cut anyway, they only cut like half the ham and then the slices do not go all the way through the father in you go. It’s pretty lame if you ask me.
But let’s just talk about this jerk rub. I love all the spices going on, it’s so perfect for this time of year. And the pineapple chipotle glaze? The glaze MAKES the ham for sure. I am a huge pineapple and chipotle fan though.
I am actually remaking this ham tomorrow since I have so many people to feed. Well, either this ham or this hula pork I made last winter. I haven’t decided yet. Thinking the ham though, it’s pretty addicting! And impressive, which is why it should probably be on your holiday table this week. Oh and sorry, apparently I do not know how to take photos of hame. In my defense, it is not the prettiest thing in the world.

Let’s eat…family’s a waiting!
Holy gorgeous! And the flavor combo sounds amazing. Will be making for Christmas dinner. 🙂
I haven’t had glazed ham in years but this I want to try. Love these flavors and that glaze!
I have to admit, I don’t love ham that much until I read your posting today. This is super delicious!
This is seriously like, ham porn. I won’t rest until I make it!
I have to disagree, Tieghan. These ham photos are beautiful and so mouth-watering. 🙂
You can’t go wrong with a delicious ham!
Well for only your second ham I think you NAILED IT. It’s absolutely beautiful. Love these flavors!
I’ve already got Christmas Day lunch sorted, but this would be amazing for New Year’s eve! I’ve never ever eaten baked ham, so I can’t wait to give this a go!
I think I’m the second person who has only ever had ham twice. Actually, I’m not sure if I’ve EVER had a baked ham (literally, I’m not kidding!), so that might be wrong too.
Love the flavors for this Tieghan! And photos!
We always make ham AND turkey at Christmas….which means leftover sandwiches for DAYS and DAYS.
Usually I get tired of them, but that pineapple jerk thang you’ve got going on is making me think otherwise. Pinned!!
Now if that isn’t the most gorgeous ham that have ever seen. It;s not easy to make ham look pretty but of course you manage to do it! And leftover ham sammies are too die for!
I think it looks gorge, Tieghan! I am just dying to grab a big fat slice through the screen!
Photos look great to me! Amazing and impressive…
… can’t wait till Christmas!!!
Looks incredible!! Yay Christmas!!
