  Pineapple Juice, Canned Or Fresh(80g)

  Brown sugar(60g)

  Unsalted Butter(60g)

Instructions

1. 1Remove any plastic packaging from the ham and trim away the rind, leaving the fat layer intact. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern across the entire surface, cutting no deeper than 1/4 inch. Let the ham rest at room temperature for 1–2 hours.
2. 2Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Add the honey and brown sugar, stirring constantly until the brown sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the glaze thickens slightly, about 2–3 minutes, then set aside to cool to lukewarm (consistency should resemble room-temperature honey).
3. 3Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place the ham in the tray and pour the pineapple juice into the base of the pan. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
4. 4Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Discard the foil, then brush 1/3 of the glaze over the ham, working it into the scored cuts. Return uncovered to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
5. 5Remove the ham and brush with another 1/3 of the glaze plus some pan juices. Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes more until a dark golden-brown crust forms, about 30 minutes total baking time at 425°F. Brush with remaining glaze as needed.
6. 6If the crust is still not sufficiently browned, turn on the broiler and broil 2–5 minutes, watching closely to prevent the sugar from burning.
7. 7Let the ham rest for 10–15 minutes, then slice into 25 equal portions.
8. 8Divide the sliced ham evenly into 25 airtight containers while still warm, including pan juices with each portion. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
