directions

1. Prepare the Oven and Ham: Heat your oven to 325˚F (165˚C). Set the ham in a sturdy roasting pan with the flat, cut side facing down.
2. Prep the Fruit: Remove the rind and tough center core from the fresh pineapple, then slice the fruit into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Secure the rings across the surface of the ham using wooden toothpicks.
   
3. Initial Roast: Transfer the pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes to begin warming the meat.
   
4. Simmer the Glaze: While the ham roasts, combine the brown sugar and canned pineapple juice in a small saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the liquid thickens into a syrupy glaze. (Use caution, as boiling sugar retains extreme heat.)
5. First Glazing: Remove the ham from the oven and evenly spoon half of the warm syrup over the meat and pineapple rings. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes.
6. Final Glaze and Bake: Drizzle the remaining glaze across the top of the ham. Continue baking for 30 to 60 minutes, until the glaze is deeply caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (without touching the bone) registers 140˚F (60˚C).
7. Rest and Carve: Pull the ham from the oven and allow it to rest on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes so the juices redistribute. Remove the toothpicks, carve into slices, and plate alongside the roasted pineapple rings.
