I love this recipe. The nutmeg and cinnamon make the pineapple SO good. This my standard way of baking a ham now.

Delicious & very easy. I baked our 8-1/2 lb ham butt for 4 hrs & the meat fell off the bone yet very juicy & tender...yum

This is absolutely the best ham recipe. I am not a great cook but this ham came out delicious. Even my pickiest eater went back for seconds and thirds.

I'm gonna try this recipe even though 1 tbsp nutmeg and cinnamon sounds too much. I pray that its delicious.

I've been making this for years - it's a family favorite. I cover the whole ham with pineapple slices, so I buy 2 cans (but only use syrup from 1). Another thing I do is I mix the cinnamon and nutmeg into the brown sugar/heavy syrup mixture - it takes a few minutes of hand mixing but I find it helps to evenly coat the ham with all the spices. Thank you Xclusive!
