• 1 (6 to 8 pound) Hormel Cure 81 Spiral Sliced Half Ham
• 2 cups water, divided
• 1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch 
• 1 can of chunk pineapple drained reserving juice to make one more cup by adding water

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place ham in shallow roasting pan. In large saucepan, combine glaze packet with 2 cups of water. Add brown sugar and heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, combine remaining water and juice with cornstarch. Add to brown sugar mixture and continue to simmer until mixture begins to thicken slightly. Pour half of the glaze over the ham. Bake for 1 hour; basting every 10-15 minutes. If the pan seems to be getting too dry, simply add a small amount of pineapple juice or water to the pan. After 1 hour turn oven off and let ham stand in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove ham from pan and let rest. Remove all excess drippings from the pan and add to the leftover glaze. Reheat glaze and serve with the ham.
