Grilled Pineapple & Brown Sugar Ham Ingredients
- One 6-8 lbs. fully cooked ham (you can purchase fully cooked ham at any local grocery store)
- 1 can of sliced pineapple
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 jar of cherries
- 3-4 tablespoons spicy or deli mustard
- 1 heavy-duty foil pan
- 1 package of tooth picks
Grilled Pineapple & Brown Sugar Ham Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Mix your brown sugar and spicy mustard together to form a rub or glaze paste. Rub this mixture together all over the outside of the ham.
- Place your brown sugar and mustard glazed ham on your heavy-duty aluminum foil pan.
- Arrange your sliced pineapples all around the outside of the ham. Poke tooth picks through the cherries and stick them through the pineapple to secure the pineapple slices in place. Pour a little bit of the pineapple juice in the bottom of the foil pan. This pineapple juice will cook out and help steam the ham to add moisture during the cooking process.
- Place your ham in the foil pan directly on your grill and close the lid on your grill. It is important to close the lid on your grill because you will be cooking the ham inside the foil pan, which will shield the ham from the flame. The residual heat when closing the lid will help surround the ham with heat and smoke. Your pineapple and brown sugar ham will take approximately 35 minutes to cook on the grill.
