  • 1⁄4 cup Red Pepper Jelly
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp 3 Onion Dip Mix or Herb & Garlic Dip Mix

Preparation

  • Open can of pineapple rings. Spoon out rings and set aside for later. Pour juice into steamer.
  • Cover and microwave on medium (50%) 20–25 min, or until ham reaches an internal temperature of 140° F, turning over halfway through cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir jelly with mustard and dip mix; mixture will be lumpy.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Once ham is warmed through, brush glaze on ham. Using toothpicks, arrange pineapple rings on ham.
