Side Dish 🥗 Southern Recipes 🇺🇸AmericanHawaiian Gluten-FreeVegetarian 🥦Vegan 🌱

Pineapple Glaze for Ham balances bright, tangy pineapple with deep caramel notes from brown sugar for a glossy, sweet-tart finish. Pineapple rings and maraschino cherries add a nostalgic, festive touch and a pop of fruitiness that complements salty, roasted ham. Ideal for holiday roasts or special Sunday dinners when you want a classic, crowd-pleasing shine and flavor.
