Pineapple ham is a sweet and salty staple. These ham slices are brushed with brown sugar and mustard before being finished with a pineapple syrup glaze.

4 slices (3/4-inch thick) ham
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 can (1 pound, 4 ounce size) sliced pineapple, drained (reserve syrup)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the ham on a rimmed baking sheet.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, mustard, and 2/3rds cup of the reserved pineapple syrup. Mix well then brush over the ham slices.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and let simmer until thickened.
Meanwhile, place the ham in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F until just heated through. Top the ham with the pineapple slices and brush with the thickened syrup. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Serve hot.
Optional: add a cherry to the center of each pineapple slice

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Mmmm! Very good! The sugar and mustard keep the ham from tasting too salty too.
