While they are cooking, heat large pan over medium high heat. Add butter, drained pineapple and ham, cooking till nicely brown. Add brown sugar and 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice. Simmer to reduced most liquid. Serve with sweet potatoes cut in half lengthwise adding a pat of butter and a pinch of salt.
