Recipe By : Taste of Home, April/May 2000
My mom always finds ways to make good foods taste even more special. A great example is this ham served with a sweet pineapple sauce. A simple mixture of basic ingredients results in a mouth-watering main dish. - Debra Falkiner of St. Charles, Missouri.
Servings: 16

1 boneless fully-cooked ham -- (4 to 6 pounds)
3/4 cup water -- divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple -- undrained
2 tablespoons cornstarch -- plus 1 teaspoon

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 325 F for 1-1/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140 F and ham is heated through. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard and pineapple. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; stir into pineapple sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with the ham.
